"You know I told you there was going
to be a surprise. Well this is it. When the lady gave me the ribbons for
you, she told me to come back to-night, and get it. Course I _could_ a-got
it myself. I _would_ a-got it for Christmas----"
"Oh Mickey-lovest, does Christmas come here?"
"Surest thing you know!" said Mickey. "A fat stocking full of every single
thing the Nurse Lady tell Santa Claus a little--a little flowersy-girl
that ain't so strong yet, may have, and a big lady doll and a picture
book."
"But I never had no stockings," said Peaches.
"Well you'll have by _that_ time," promised Mickey.
"Oh Mickey, I'm so glad I want to say a prayin's 'at you found _me_,
'stead of some other kid!" exulted Peaches.
"Yes Miss, and that's one thing I forgot!" said Mickey. "We'll _begin_ to-
night. You ain't a properly raised lady unless you say your prayers. I
know the one _She_ taught me. To-night will be a good time, 'cause you'll
be so thankful for your pretty ribbons and your baby, that you'll just
love to say a real thankful prayer.
