Stratton-Porter, Gene, 1863-1924

"Michael O'Halloran"

"
"Thanks," said Mickey. "I'd love to, but you needn't bother about taking
me home. I can make it if I start at six. Shall I take the things back to
the cafe?" "Let them go until morning," said Douglas.
"What becomes of the little cakes?"
"Their fate is undecided. Have you any suggestions?"
"I should worry!" he exclaimed. "They'd fit my pocket. I could hike past
the hospital and ask the Sunshine Lady; if she said so, I could take them
to Lily. Bet she never tasted any like them. If it's between her and the
cafe selling them over, s'pose she takes the cake?"
Mickey's face was one big insinuating, suggestive smile. Douglas' was
another.
"Suppose she does," he agreed.
"I must wrap them," said Mickey. "Have to be careful about Lily. If she's
fed dirty, wrong stuff, it will make fever so her back will get worse
instead of better."
"Will a clean envelope do?" suggested Douglas.
"That would cost you two cents," said Mickey. "Haven't you something
cheaper?"
"What about a sheet of paper?" hazarded Douglas.
