Stratton-Porter, Gene, 1863-1924

"Oh the Big Brother business would be all right--with you," conceded
Mickey, "but I don't just like the way it's managed, mostly. God didn't
make us brothers no more than he did all men, so we better not butt in and
try to fix things over for Him. Looks to me like we might cut the brother
business and just be _friends_. I could be an awful good _friend_ to you,
honest I could!"
"And I to you Mickey," said Douglas Bruce, holding out his hand. "Have it
as you will. Friends, then! Look for you at noon to-morrow. Now we play.
Hop in and we'll run to my rooms and get my clubs."
"Shall I sit up with your man?" asked Mickey.
"My friends sit beside me," said Douglas. Mickey spoke softly: "Yes, but
if I watched him sharp, maybe I could get the hang of driving for you.
Think what a lump that would save. When I'm going, I'd love to drive, just
for the fun of it."
"And I wouldn't allow you to drive for less than I pay him," said Douglas.
"I don't see why!" exclaimed Mickey.
