Question 13
NAN: You should have been there, George. The little
child was lying on the street with his knees all
scraped up. Not even out of diapers yet, he wasn’t.
And get this, he didn’t have a clue where his own
mother was, the little fool!
GEORGE: So, you saw him back to her and gave
her a piece of your mind, I take it?
NAN (haughtily): Saw him back to her?! And let him
think he can just go falling about and count on goodhearted people to lift him back up? No, George. I
told the child to sort himself out and went on my
way.
