You're not standing treat to a beggar. My dad is a rich man--you know. (Bessie: You resemble your father.) I was the very image of him in face from a boy--(Eats)--and that's about as far as it goes. He was always one of your domestic characters. He looked sick when he had to go to sea for a fortnight's trip. ((Laughs.).) He was all for house and home. (Bessie: And you? Have you never wished for a home?) Home! If I found myself shut up in what the old man calls a home, I would kick it down about my ears on the third day--or else go to bed and die before the week was out. Die in a house--ough!
