"Billy!"
"Yes, Mr. Gran; yes, sir."
"I want you, for my sake, to try and remember. You had a father and mother?"
"Yes, Mr. Gran, a long time ago."
"Where are they?"
"I don' know, sir."
"Is it very long since you saw them?"
"Oh, ever so long!"
"But there must be someone--an aunt or uncle."
"Nobody, nobody!"
