‘Meaning “Kindly Call Me God!”’
Mr. Don flings back his head; so we know what Dick is doing. They are a hilarious pair, perhaps too noisy, for suddenly Mr. Don looks at the door.
‘I think I heard some one, Dick!’
‘Perhaps it’s mother!’
‘She may,’ nervously, ‘have heard the row.’
Dick’s eyes must be twinkling. ‘I say, father, you’ll catch it!’
‘I can’t believe, Dick,’ gazing wistfully into the chair, ‘that she won’t see you.’
It is a sadder voice than his own for the moment that answers, ‘Only one may see me.’
‘You will speak to her, Dick. Let her hear your voice.’
‘Only one may hear me. I could make her the one; but it would mean your losing me.’
