Stratton-Porter, Gene, 1863-1924

"Michael O'Halloran"


"Smash anybody that lays a finger on you, unless you say so," said Mickey
promptly.
"And you'd stay a whole day?" she asked anxiously.
"Sure!" cried Mickey.
"An' if I was afraid you'd bring me back?" she went on.
"Sure! Right away!" he promised.
"An' they wouldn't anybody 'get' me there?"
"'Way out there 'mong the clover?" scoffed Mickey. "Why it's _here_
they'll '_get_' you if they are going to. Nobody out there _wants_ you,
but me."
"Mickey, when will you take me?" she asked eagerly.
"Before so very long," promised Mickey. "You needn't be surprised to hear
me coming with the nice lady to see you any day now, and to be wrapped in
a sheet, and put in a big car, and just scooted right out to the very
place that God made especial for little girls. To-night we put in another
blesses, Lily. We'll pray, 'Bless the nice lady who sent our supper,'
won't we?"
"Yes Mickey, and 'fore you came I didn't want any supper at all, and now I
_do_," said Peaches.
"You were too warm honey," said Mickey.
