Stratton-Porter, Gene, 1863-1924

"Michael O'Halloran"

"Daddy always
thought for me, so there was nothing left for me to spend my time and
thought on but him. It was a beautiful arrangement."
"Leslie, this is your car, but won't you dear, drive fast!" begged Mrs.
Minturn.
"Of course Nellie!" exclaimed the girl.
"Leslie, will you stand by me, and show me the way, all you can?" asked
Mrs. Minturn anxiously. "I'll lose every friend I have got; my house must
be torn down and built up from the basement on a new system, as to
management; and I haven't an idea _how_ to do it. Oh, I hope James can
help me."
"You may be sure James will know and can help you," comforted Leslie.
"You'll be leaving for the seashore in a few days; install a complete new
retinue, and begin all fresh. Half the servants you keep, really
interested in their work, would make you far more comfortable than you are
now."
"Yes, I think that too!" agreed Mrs. Minturn eagerly. "Some way I feel as
if I were turning against Lucette. I never want to see her again, after I
tell her to go; not that I know what I shall do without her.
