A woman is worried about an older woman,  a widow, who lives in the apartment next door. She hasn't heard anything from  her for a few days. 
 
So she tells her son, "I want  you to go next door and see how ol' Mrs. Pierpoint is." 
 
A few minutes later, the boy  returns. 
 
"Well, is she all right?" the  mother asks. 
 
"She's fine, but she's annoyed  with you," he says. 
 
"At me? Whatever for?"  
 
"Well," says her son, "Mrs. Pierpoint told me it's none of your business how old she is."
