Mrs. W. Uncle Bertram? Did he tell you that, Bobby?

Bobby. N-no, not exactly; but he said it, Mamma. He did, really.

Mrs. W. To whom, then, if not to you? How did you come to hear it?

Bobby. He said it to himself, when he was directing it this morning.

Mrs. W. Did he know you were there?

Bobby. N-no. I wasn’t there, exactly.

Mrs. W. Then where were you?

Bobby. I was—in there. (Points.)

Mrs. W. Bobby! You weren’t listening?
