Dannie:
[who has been looking from one to the other] Mother darlin’, hold up yer head so’s I can see you. [She looks at him wiping her eyes.] I always knew you were beautiful. [Mrs. M. rises.]
Mulligan:
She is that, Dannie. [He leans on back of Dannie’s chair.]
Jones:
[striking attitude] Now Dannie, ain’t I han’some too? [Puffs out cheeks, and makes pop eyes. Others laugh.]
Nurse:
Dannie has had the bandages off his eyes part of the time for several days but we did not let you know because he wanted to give you a happy Christmas surprise. Tomorrow is going to be the merriest Christmas he ever has had and I’m sure the rest of you will be happy because he can see you all.
Mulligan:
Sure we will that.
