I'm right down glad to see you, Colonel.
LAURA

] I'm delighted to see you, but [you'll excuse me a little while, I want to have a talk with the old folks.] Now Nancy, when I was a young man I used to have my ideas. I used to set them pretty high, but experience [sobers a man.] Now I never touch anything without having first weighed it in my judgment, and when Mulberry Sellers puts his judgment on a thing, there it is !
