I experienced a somewhat similar emotion in Chicago on being introduced to Hinky Dink.
I'll tell you what happens: some city editor sends a kid reporter to get a story about Hinky Dink.
"Hinky Dink" saw him, paid for a week's lodging at the Mills Hotel, and gave him money for meals each day.
They are told to "take home a cake of Hinky-dink's Soap tonight; your wife needs it!"
My companion and I felt that while we were "getting" Hinky Dink, he was not failing to "get" us.
