what can I say, 81 yr old men can't be picky if a passable 30 yr old grifter comes a callin'. It was probably those pouty lips that got him hooked.

Was she another one of them "gypsy" grifter swindlers? Good thing the old guy had a niece that looked after him. But really, some people need to knock some sense into these old guys. Throw tact out the window and tell them, these young broads only want you for your money and that brownstone you're gonna sign over.

Ugh, this is making me teary. Also the part where he still buys an extra ticket for his dead wife when going to the opera. It's so sad to live through the death of your partner when you're old and alone....

Perhaps she only stole the share of the national debt he is leaving to her!

Grammar I tend to give a little leeway, but come on, is it asking too much to do a little spell check now and again? "Iin yet another" "The old "visiting nurse" rountine!"

just saying

How embarrassed and humiliated that poor man must feel! It must have taken a lot of guts for him to admit that he was conned by that grifter. ". . .fooled by a busted looking grifter." Gothamist, I don't quite follow that statement. Did you mean "busty-looking grifter?" (I know I'm being a little snarky.)

wha?

"gave her many checks met Gossner while" it looks like a sentence, but isn't. it's gothamist!

Bah, that makes me angry, taking advantage of elderly people like that. Show a little respect. I hope that they throw the book at her.
