JESSE COLLINGS. Come, come!
CHAMBERLAIN. Yes?
JESSE COLLINGS. Nothing else left, indeed! Don't—don't be so down,
Chamberlain.
CHAMBERLAIN. Dear old friend!… Just now you called me "Joe." You don't often do that. Why did you?
JESSE COLLINGS. A reversion to old habits, I suppose. One does as one gets older.
CHAMBERLAIN. Yes.
JESSE COLLINGS (genially making conversation, which he sees to be advisable). I was reading only the other day that, as we get on in years and begin to forget other things, our childhood comes back to us.
CHAMBERLAIN. Yes?
JESSE COLLINGS. Now I wonder if that's true?
CHAMBERLAIN. I wonder.
