How would he make it? He had her now, he simply must succeed. The day was
half over before Mickey began to laugh for no apparent reason. He had
realized that she had not said what he had required of her, after all.
"Gee, I'm up against it," said Mickey. "I didn't s'pose she'd act like
that! I thought she'd keep on being like when she woke up. I never behaved
like that."
Then in swift remorse: "But I had the finest mother a fellow ever had to
tell me, while she ain't had any one, and only got me now, so I'll have to
tell her; course I can't do everything at once. So far as that goes, she
didn't do any worse than the millyingaires' kids in the park who roll
themselves in the dirt, bump their own heads, and scream and fight. I
guess my kid's no worse than other people's. I can train her like mother
did me; then we'll be enough alike we can live together, and even when she
was the worst, I liked her. I liked her cartloads."
So Mickey shouldered the duties of paternity, and began thinking for his
child, his little, neglected, bad, sick child.
