Polly. Just look at his sister's muff. [Enter man.]
Jim [shouts]. Buy a paper, sir! [Man takes paper.]
[Dot turns and sees children, looks away, then
back again, turns to Dick.
Dot. Dicky, are you sure you are warm enough?
Dick. Warm enough! How could I be cold with a great big coat like this one? I feel like a polar bear. [Walks up and down to show size of his coat, then sits down. Dot turns and sees the children's ragged shoes.]
Dot. But are your feet warm?
Dick. Of course, with boots on.
Dot [sees Polly examining holes in her mittens]. But aren't there any holes in your mittens?
Dick. In my spick-span new mittens that Aunt Jennie made me? [Holds them up.] Dot, you're crazy! [Catches her looking at the children; looks himself, and then walks around the sled to sit facing Jim and Polly. Dot does the same. All four stare in silence.] Hullo!
