Yes--he's begun to bring toys just like some of the others did.
CHRISTOPHER. [_With his mouth full._] Hobby horse! Hobby horse!
[_Pointing to the hobby horse._
LIZZIE. Don't talk with your mouth full, Mr. Christopher.
PHILIP. [_Shouting._] He'll choke! He'll choke!
[_All laugh, tremendously amused._
MOLES. Mr. Coast is a very fine gentleman.
PHILIP. Oh, I know! I saw him give you a dollar the other day, when he
came to see auntie, and you advised his waiting and said auntie'd be in
by five.
LIZZIE. Isn't he a case!
MOLES. He certainly is.
[_Returns pitcher to table on the Left._
CHRISTOPHER. I like Mr. Dick best. He's always taking us places and
things.
TOOTS. [_Who has finished his croquette and is now ready for
conversation._] Um! Circus!
PHILIP. And not just 'cause he's stuck on auntie.
MOLES. You oughtn't to use that expression, Mr. Philip.
PHILIP. Why not! you do. I heard you tell Lizzie you were stuck on her
last Sunday.
LIZZIE. [_Blushing._] Oh, my!
CHRISTOPHER. Mr. Dick's a soldier!
PHILIP. Yes, siree! He helped stop a strike of street cars in Brooklyn.
His name was in the papers!
CHRISTOPHER.
