"Who is Lily Peaches?"
"She's about so long"--Mickey showed how long--"and about so wide"--he

"If you won't take the money for yourself, then take it for her," offered
the woman. "If you have a little sick girl to support, you surely can use

"Umm!" said Mickey. "You kind of ball a fellow up and hang him on the
ropes. Honest you do, lady! I can take care of myself. I know I can,
'cause I've done it three years, but I don't know how I'm goin' to make it
with Lily, for she needs a lot. She may get sick any day, so I ain't sure
how I'm going to manage well with her."
"How long have you taken care of her?"
"Since last night," explained Mickey.
"Oh! How old is she?" Questions seemed endless.
"I don't know," answered Mickey. "Her granny died and left her lying on
rags in a garret. I found her screeching, so I took her to my castle and
washed her, and fed her. You should see her now.
