Well, well; I've gone through a good deal since the old days, father, and I'm not what you used to know me.

I'm gladder than I can say to find you so easy in your old age.

Neither Mike nor me did our duty by you, that's only too sure.

I wish I could have the time back again; but what's the good of that?
Can you tell me anything about Mike ?' 'Yes.

He died in Australia, about four years ago.' 'Did he now?
Well, I've been in America, but I never got so far as Australia.
