Mrs. Dermott. Yes, our lawyer, you know.

Daniel. Do I? How much have you got?

Mrs. Dermott. I think Tibbets said about fifteen hundred; of course we can't keep the house and family going on that, can we?

Daniel. Of course we can't. What do the children intend to do?

Mrs. Dermott. Well, they don't quite know, poor darlings.

Daniel. Poor darlings! Is Oliver at home?

Mrs. Dermott. Yes. He's going to be a barrister or an engineer. He's very vague about it, but has been learning Pelmanism, so I know he's going to be something.

Daniel. I see. Bobbie?

Mrs. Dermott. Oh, Bobbie, he's so young. Of course, it's not his fault.

Daniel. Naturally.
