English term or phrase: peg him
Contesto:
[...]a voice called out from below.
“Ms. Aldren!” the voice called, louder now. “Hello, is that you?”
Holly frowned, [...] her eyes fell on the professor-looking detective. Complete with spectacles, silver hair, and perfect posture. His hands were clasped behind his back where he stood on the sidewalk, looking up at her.
She exhaled a defeated sigh through her nose.
“That the person in the place?” Edith asked.
“Different person, different place. Also trouble.”
Edith wiggled her wineglass. “Want to see if I can peg him?”
Holly smirked. “No. Thanks though.” She stood up, waving at the detective. “How can I help you, Detective Rogers?” she called.
