Question

“Here, John.” The demon unbuttoned his coat and reached into his pants pocket, but Father shook his head. “No tip. Happy just to look at horseless.” The demon stopped and studied Father as you might look at a dog that had suddenly said he was going to the opera. “Well, I'll be d**ned,” he said. He reached into a pocket of his waistcoat and took out a card, and handed it to Father with a flourish. “I can use honest handymen like you. You come around anytime, you sabe me?” “Me sabe.” Father nodded. —Dragonwings, Laurence Yep
