tiredest, or hungriest, or hottest?"
"I don't know," she said.
"Then I'll make a clean get-a-way," said Mickey. "Washing is cooling; and
it freshens you up a lot."
So Mickey brought his basin again, bathing the tired child gently as any
woman could have done it.
"See what I got!" he cried as he opened bundles and explained. "I'm going
to see if you have fever."
Peaches rebelled at the thermometer.
"Now come on in," urged Mickey. "Slide straight home to your base! If I'm
going to take care of you, I'm going to right. You can't lay here eating
wrong things if you have _fever_. No-sir-ee! You don't get to see in any
more of these bundles, nor any supper, nor talked to any more, 'til you
put this little glass thing under your tongue and hold it there just this
way"--Mickey showed how--"three minutes by the clock, then I'll know what
to do with you next. I'll sit beside you, and hold your hands, and tell
you about the pretty lady that sent it."
Mickey wiped the thermometer on the sheet, then presented it.
