Old Blind Man

An old blind man for whom Mary Mallon cooks when she is discovered by the New York police in 1915. Before dinner he is reading a newspaper which Mary takes away from him, questioning his ability to read it without glasses. He mistakes her for his son, Johnny, and tells her about his love for Christmas turkey. While Mary is preparing the milk for the baby, the old man seemingly attempts to kiss her, startling Mary and causing her to spill the milk all over the dinner table. The baby, wanting to get the milk bottle, crawls onto the table and falls into the old man's plate. Mistaking it for a Christmas turkey, the old man attempts to eat the baby before Mary takes it away at the last moment.
