Stratton-Porter, Gene, 1863-1924

"Michael O'Halloran"


"You won't mind waiting only a second until I run up to Mr. Bruce's
offices?" she asked.
He was ready, so together they stopped at Mr. Minturn's door. Douglas
whispered: "Watch the office boy. He is Minturn's Little Brother I told
you about."
Leslie nodded and entered gaily.
"Please ask Mr. Minturn if he will see Miss Winton and Mr. Douglas Bruce a
minute?" she said.
An alert, bright-faced lad bowed politely, laid aside a book and entered
the inner office.
"Now let me!" said Leslie. "Good May, Mr. Minturn!" she cried. "Positively
enchanting! Take that forbidding look off your face. Come for a few
minutes Maying! It will do you much good, and me more. All my friends are
pleasuring me to-day. So I want as good a friend of Mr. Bruce as you, to
be in something we have planned. You just must!"
"Has something delightful happened?" asked Mr. Minturn, retaining the hand
Leslie offered him as he turned to Douglas Bruce.
"You must ask Miss Winton," he said.
Mr. Minturn's eyes questioned her sparkling face, while again with closed
lips she nodded.
