"Would you like to go and see it, sir?" asked Ben.

"Certainly, sir. Charlie, if you are going home, just tell your grandmother that this gentleman is coming to look at her room. You needn't wait for me."
"All right, Ben."
"You are very kind to an old man; what did you say your name was?"
"Ben Bradford."
"Have you parents living?"
