Stratton-Porter, Gene, 1863-1924

"Michael O'Halloran"

He's wild about the city. He's going to be gone
before we know it. He doesn't seem to care for anything we have, or do. I
don't know just what he hoped to get out of a city boy; but I promised him
one. Then I felt scared and wrote Mr. Chaffner how it was and asked him to
send me a real nice boy who could be trusted. If it were not for Junior--
Mary and the Little Man would be delighted."
"Well never mind," said Mickey. "I'll go see the Nurse Lady and maybe she
can think of a plan. Anyway I don't know as it would be best for Lily. If
she came here a week, seems like it would kill me to take her back, and I
don't know how she'd bear staying alone all day, after she had got used to
company. And pretty soon now it's going to get so hot, top floors in the
city, that if she had a week like this, going back would make her sick."
"You must give me time to think," said the woman. "Peter will soon be home
to supper. I'll talk it over with him and with Junior and see what they
think. Where could you be found in Multiopolis? We drive in every few
days.
