- Little Boy looks over the silhouettes he's rescued from Mother's Younger Brother, not realizing they are of the same Little Girl he met on the street one day.
- We learn that the boy often collects things and roams around the house, lost in daydreams. He sits with Grandfather and listens to the old man tell stories, and thinks of Grandfather as a discarded treasure.
- The Little Boy possibly has psychic abilities, as he has the ability to make things move without touching them.
- The boy is fascinated with motion picture shows. He also plays the same record endlessly on the Victrola. Sometimes he studies himself in the mirror, trying to see how he is changing. Wanting to get her son out of the house, Mother takes the boy ice-skating with her younger brother.
