If I take you to see Lily, and if I
decide to let you have her a few days to rest her and fresh her up, you
wouldn't go and want to put her 'mong the Orphings' Home kids, would you?
You wouldn't think she ought to be took from me and raised in a flock of
every kind, from every place. Would you lady?"
"No, I wouldn't," said the lady. "I see how you feel, and I am sure I
wouldn't want that for one of mine."
"Well, there's no question about her being _mine!_" said Mickey. "But I
like you so, maybe I'll let you _help_ me a _little_. A big boy that can
run and play doesn't need you, dearest lady, half so much as my little
girl. Do you think he does?"
"No, I think the Lord sent you straight here. If you don't stop I'll be so
worked up I can't rest. I may come to-morrow."
Mickey arose, holding out his hand.
"Thank you dearest lady," he said. "I must be getting out where the car
won't pass without my seeing it."
"You wait at the gate a minute," she said, "I want to send in a little
basket of things to-night.
