HI JACK!

In the original film, Fred Gaily, after successfully proving that Kris was the one, true Santa, finds the house that Susie has been dreaming of. He and Doris think it is just a coincidence, until Fred sees a cane, a cane just like the one Kris had, sitting in the house. He gets a worried looks and says, " [_doubtfully_] Maybe… And… maybe I didn’t do such a wonderful thing after all."

I never get that line. What does he mean?

If Kris _was_ indeed the one, true, Santa, then he did a good thing!
