But, now that I'm perfectly sure I have none,

Answer:

I believe the answer is B.) A fat but lively older man

Step-by-step explanation:

"you hair has become very white"

"...at your age, it is right?"

"in my youth"

and the title being 'father' William shows that the man is old

"...[you] stand on your head" shows that he is more active then you think

Hope this helps
