The cabaret of a gentleman

I don't know who the gentleman is whose cabaret this is but apparently

he likes some mystery or anonymity. He apparently goes to some effort

to let people know he is gentleman; a sign like that is not the usual

order of business in making a reputation. It does however remind me

of my father's statement when I was a child, that what someone accuses

someone else of being something, it is what they suspect they are

themselves. <i>Mutatis mutandis</i>, hey?
