"Oh, that's all right; your name is Sol Burton. Yes, yes, I've heard about you." The declaration was reiterated in a tone of more aggravating significance. "See here, Ballard, I want you to tell me what you mean." "I've heard about you." "What have you heard about me?" "It's all right; I tell you I've heard about you.
