Rh [Wide-eyed.] Oh-h—are you Alexander Hamilton? I thought he was quite old. Why, you're young, aren't you?

[Smiling.] Not very young.

Why, you are. You look quite boyish. It's very late, isn't it?

It is rather late for business hours.

Were you just going to bed?

I think I was.

Oh, then I ought not to have disturbed you. When I got to your door I thought perhaps it might be too late. That's why I knocked with my knuckles instead of with the knocker.

Yes, I wondered why you did that.

[Smiling sweetly.] Yes, it hurt them too. It was mighty nice of you to let me in.
