"You look out Miss," marvelled Mickey. "You got to tell true or you can't
be my family."
"Sure and true!" said Peaches emphatically.
"Well if I ever!" cried Mickey. "I didn't think you was _that_ silly!"
"'Tain't silly!" said Peaches. "The po'try pieces is _you!_ 'Tain't silly
to like _you_ better than a dress, and a ribbon, or a Precious Child. I
want my piece now!"
"Well I've been so busy to-day, I forgot your piece, said Mickey. "'Nough
things have happened to make me forget my head, if 'twasn't fast. I forgot
your piece. I thought you'd like the dress and the joyous thing better."
"Then you _didn't_ forget it!" cried Peaches. "You thought something else,
and you thought what ain't! So there! I _want_ my po'try piece!"
"Well do you want it worse than your supper?" demanded Mickey.
"Yes I do!" said Peaches.
"Well use me for a mop!" cried Mickey. "Then you'll have to wait 'til I
make one."
"Go on and make it!" ordered the child.
