Joe attributed his sudden interest in sport to the influence of his grandfather, a noted runner of his day, but now dead and buried in the Tuvalla cemetery. ‘It's comin' out in me,’ Joe explained. ‘I never been fond of runnin', but it's in me [= my] blood all right.’ (A. Marshall, ‘How's Andy Going?’) — Джо приписывал свой неожиданный интерес к спорту влиянию дедушки, который в свое время был известным бегуном, а сейчас покоится на кладбище Тувалла. - Я унаследовал склонности деда, - объяснял Джо. - Бег меня никогда не привлекал, но интерес к спорту у меня, несомненно, в крови.
