MRS. TIMBRELL. What does the doctor say?

LEONARD. He’s just looking at the kid—nothing serious, I think.

MRS. TIMBRELL. Mary’s with him, I suppose? [She goes out slowly.]

BROOME. Now, sir, I thought I’d just like to have a word with you.

LEONARD. Very natural, very proper Mr. Broome, I am sure, but you know—

BROOME. I’m only a cabman but I have my feelin’s. I’m a father, sir.

LEONARD. Yes, it’s a curious sensation, isn’t it?

BROOME. Sir?

LEONARD. It’s big. Mr. Broome; it’s big, undeniably.
