"I ain't taking chances of being turned down," he
said to himself, as he stopped a second to clean the step.
He returned and was waiting when the nurse came. She was young and fair
faced; her hair was golden, and as she paid Mickey for his papers he
wondered how soon he could have Lily looking like her. He took one long
survey as he pocketed the money, thinking he would rush home at once; but
he wanted to fix in his mind how Lily must appear, to be right, for he
thought a nurse in the hospital would be right.
The nurse knew she was beautiful, and to her Mickey's long look was
tribute, male tribute; a small male indeed, but such a winning one; so she
took the occasion to be her loveliest, and smile her most attractive
smile. Mickey surrendered. He thought she was like an angel, that made him
think of Heaven, Heaven made him think of God, God made him think of his
call for help that morning, the call made him think of the answer, the
beautiful woman before him made him think that possibly _she_ might be the
answer instead of the other one.
