[Who has been motionless, now turns to Halligan, in joyous assent.]

A fine gentleman, isn’t he, Halligan?

[Proudly.]

When my father walks along the street everybody stops to look at him! I can see the people nudging each other, and saying, “There goes Mr. Millman.” And the newspapers send men here to take his picture—but father’s too busy to let them do that. And when I go out I hear everybody say, “There goes Millman’s boy.” And all the policemen touch their caps and talk to me.

Yes, I’ve seen that many a time.

David

And it’s all because daddy’s such a fine man!
