[All the old people except Bolling and Hansen, snigger. Hansen turns away, offended.]

Hansen. Of course, I know.
Helms. He's ashamed to tell you. Ha, ha!
Buffe. He's afraid. Ha, ha!
Hansen. Who's afraid? [Reluctantly.] I'm only sixty.
The Old People. "Only a boy." "Not dry behind the ears." "He'll grow." "Poor child."
Knut. That makes 453.
