Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
The beggar tries to persuade Mr. Parsons to buy the cigarette lighter by suggesting it could be a "nice little present" and also implies that Mr. Parsons would not mind "helping a poor guy out". This shows that the beggar views Mr. Parsons as someone who has the ability (maybe financially) to help him (as a "poor guy") and also as someone who might have social connections (since he could give the lighter as a present to people he knows who smoke).
# Answer:
The beggar views Mr. Parsons as someone who can afford to help him (a poor person) and as someone with social circles (to whom he can give the cigarette - lighter as a present).
