Mrs. M.:
It IS—Dannie. [Runs and kisses him.]
Katie:
[clapping hands] It’s Dannie.
Rosie:
[dancing up and down] Our own Dannie! [Rosie and Katie stand close by him.]
Dannie:
[looking from one to another] It’s the same bad boy himself.
Nurse:
[coming over] Yes, it is Dannie, and he has come to enjoy Christmas eve with you. If you are real glad to see him he is going to stay for Christmas day, too.
