Definitely a he because he knocked Mary leading to the most ackward conversation in history: Old man Joseph: So you wanted to talk with me about something my darling wifey? Mary: Yeah, you know how I keep sending you off for shaved ice with honey and pickled locusts lately? OMJ: Yes, anything to make you happy, but it looks like some of it is sticking to your ribs a bit lately. M: About that, I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that I am having a baby out of wedlock and disgracing you in our small busy- body town. OMJ: Then what is the good news? M: In exactly 33 years your problem will get solved. OMJ: Mary, please fetch me a cane rod as thick as your thumb and while you are at it, fetch me that pool boy from next door who has been hanging around here lately. And SCENE.
