Heh. My reaction was, "Paarfi is wrong, wrong, wrong!" Note that he
talks like an oldie, too.

"He nodded and smiled. Like the guy who lived downstairs, as I said
before. Or else maybe the old man who pinches the pretty girl in the
market, but she smiles back instead of smacking him. That guy."

I like the idea that he really looks exactly the way Vlad sees him.
Because, you see, it *is* such a great disguise.
