Paul tells Boy that he was Mrs. Dempster's son, and the same child who Boy tormented. Boy claims he does not remember any of it,
“No. I don’t remember what is of no use to me, and I haven’t been in Deptford since my father died. That’s twenty-six years.”
“You have no recollection of Mrs. Dempster?”
“None at all. Why should I?”
