Father. Do you see anything amiable and lovable in any of them?
Boy. Oh, no.
Father. Do you think I love your brothers?
Boy. I know you do!
Father. Well, here they are, just as I took the poor fellows out of the streets.
Boy. Out of the streets as you did me? They are all your adopted sons?
Father. Every one of them.
Boy. I don't understand it. What made you do it?
Father. I loved them so that I could not help it.
Boy. I never heard of such a thing! You loved those miserable beggar- boys? Then you must be made of Love!
