   A supposed smart-man fooled by a Lunatic.

   Peg went to America and left her brother Jack at home. She served her employer faithfully, so at last her mistress died. Then Peg married the master, and she sent for her brother. When he landed in New York he found he couldn't remember his sister's address. Determined to find her he buckled his coat and started to knock at every door. When the waiters came up Jack hardly gave them time to ask what he wanted until he shouted at the top of his voice "Is this the house the missus died and our Peg married the master?"
