Stratton-Porter, Gene, 1863-1924

"Michael O'Halloran"

_Eating too much made her sick_.' She
looked at the big boy fierce like so he laughed and said, 'Course eating
too much made her sick!' She nodded at him and said, 'Course! You get two
dishes of ice and two pieces of cake for remembering!' then she loaded
them in and they drove away.
"My lady was as white as marble and she said, 'Is there any way to find
out who they are?' I said, 'Sure! Half a dozen!' 'Boy,' she said, 'get
their residence for me and I'll give you a dollar.' Ought to seen me fly.
Car was chuffing away, waiting to get the traffic cop's sign when to cut
in on the avenue. I just took a dodge and hung on to the extra tire under
the top where nobody saw me, and when they stopped, I got the house number
they went in. Little pink was lying all white and limber yet, and nurse
looked worried as she carried her up. She said something fierce to the
boys, the big one rang and they went inside. I saw a footman take the
girl. I heard nurse begin that 'eat too much' story, then I cut back to
the park.
