What is the job that Raymond claimed to be doing? What do people say he lives on?

Raymond claims to be a warehouseman. People believe that he subsists on the money he makes as a pimp.

The general idea hereabouts is that he’s a pimp. But if you ask him what his job is, he says he’s a warehouseman. One thing’s sure: he isn’t popular in our street. Still, he often has a word for me, and drops in sometimes for a short talk in my room, because I listen to him. As a matter of fact, I find what he says quite interesting. So, really I’ve no reason for freezing him off. His name is Sintès; Raymond Sintès.
