What was Calloway's reaction to Bud saying he is his father?

Herman was angry that Bud dared to make the accusation.

Herman E. Calloway said. ''What in Sam Hill is going on here? First off, don't you be coming in here accusing folks of being your father, and second off, where is your mother?"
Shucks, he said it like he didn't already know. I said, "She's dead, sir, she died four years ago."
Herman E. Calloway said, "I am truly sorry to hear that, but it's obvious that you are a disturbed young man and you don't have a clue who your father is. You just tell us who's looking after you now, and we'll get you sent back to wherever it is you belong."
