Stratton-Porter, Gene, 1863-1924

"Michael O'Halloran"

Refused me at every point, and
marched away leaving me in utter rout! Outside wanting you for my wife,
more than anything else on earth, I wanted Mickey for my Little Brother."
"You have him!" comforted the girl. "The Lord arranged that. You remember
He said, 'All men are brothers,' and wasn't it Tolstoy who wrote: 'If
people would only understand that they are not the sons of some fatherland
or other, nor of governments, but are sons of God?' You and Mickey will
get your brotherhood arranged to suit both of you some of these days."
"Exactly!" conceded Douglas. "But I wanted Mickey at hand now! I wanted
him to come and go with me. To be educated with what I consider
education."
"It will come yet," prophesied Leslie. "Your ideas are splendid! I see how
fine they are! The trouble is this: you had a plan mapped out at which
Mickey was to jump. Mickey happened to have preconceived ideas on the
subject, so he didn't jump. You wanted to be the king on the throne and
stretch out a royal hand," laughed Leslie.
