Stratton-Porter, Gene, 1863-1924

"Michael O'Halloran"

The girl seemed in no hurry to open the
letter.
"Have trouble finding Mr. Bruce?" she asked.
"Easy! I'd been to the same building before."
"And I suppose you'll be there many times again," she suggested.
"I'm going back right now, if you want to send an answer to that letter,"
he said.
"And if it requires none?" she questioned.
"Then I'm going to try to sell the rest of these papers, get a slate for
Lily and go home."
"Is Lily your little sister?" she asked.
Mickey straightened, firmly closing his lips. He had done it again.
"Just a little girl I know," he said cautiously.
"A little bit of a girl?" she asked.
"'Bout the littlest girl you ever saw," said Mickey, unconsciously
interested in the subject.
"And you are going to take her a slate to draw pictures on? How fine! I
wish you'd carry her a package for me, too. I was arranging my dresser
this morning and I put the ribbons I don't want into a box for some child.
Maybe Lily would like them for her doll."
"Lily hasn't any doll," he said.
