you hold the line a second until I start Mickey with it? All right!
"She is there now, Mickey. Can you find your way?"
"Sure!" laughed Mickey. "If you put the address on. She started me from

"The address is plain. For straightening my rooms and carrying the note,
will that be about right?"
"A lady-bird! Gee!" cried Mickey. "I didn't s'pose you was a plute! And I
don't s'pose so yet. You want a Little Brother bad if you're willing to
_buy_ one. This number ain't far out, and I wouldn't have sold more than
three papers this time of day--twenty-five is about right."
"But you forget cleaning my rooms," said Douglas.
Mickey grinned, his face flushed.
"Me to you!" he said. "Nothing! Just a little matter of keeping in
practice. Good-bye and be good to yourself!"
Douglas turned to the telephone.
