D. He seems flaky and distracted.

Explanation:

We can make this conclusion because we are told from the text that Mr. Woodifield said, "Y'are very snug in here," referring to his friend the boss. He also seems to be distracted when we are told,

"There was something I wanted to tell you," said old Woodifield, and his eyes grew dim remembering."Now, what was it? I had it in my mind when I started out this morning." His hands began to tremble, and patches of red showed above his beard."

By his words and actions, it seems to showcase the character of a flaky and distracted person.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
