Stratton-Porter, Gene, 1863-1924

"Michael O'Halloran"

Douglas Bruce. He's the biggest lawyer in Multiopolis.
He's got an office in the Iriquois Building, and his call is 500-X. Write
that down too and put it where you can't lose it. He's just a grand man.
He asked about Lily to-day. He said any time he'd do things for her. Sure
he would! He'd stop saving the taxpayers of Multiopolis, and take his car,
and go like greased lightning for a little sick girl. He's the grandest
man and he's got a Joy Lady that puts in most of her time making folks
happy. Either of them would! Why it's too easy to talk about! You call me,
I take a car and bring her scooting! If I'd see Lily standing on her feet,
stepping right out like other folks, I'd be so happy I'd almost bust wide
open. Honest I would! If he _does_ come, you'd try _hard_ to get me a
chance, wouldn't you?"
"I'd try as hard for you as I would for myself Mickey; I couldn't promise
more," she said.
"Lily's as good as fixed," exulted Mickey. "Why there is that big easy car
standing down in the street waiting to take me home right now.
