Stratton-Porter, Gene, 1863-1924

"Michael O'Halloran"

The finished product
is to have a sky-blue cover and be decorated either with an English
sparrow, the only bird she has seen, or a cow. She likes milk, and the
pictures of cows give her an idea that she can handle them like her
doll----"
"Oh Douglas!" protested Leslie.
"I believe she thinks a whole herd of cows could be kept on her bed, while
she finds them quite suitable to decorate Mickey's volume," said Douglas.
"Why, hasn't she seen anything at all?"
"She has been on the street twice in her life that she knows of," answered
Douglas. "It will be kind of you to take her, and cure her if it can be
done, but you'll have to consult Mickey. She is his find, so he claims
her, belligerently, I might warn you!"
"Claims her! _He has her?_" marvelled Leslie.
"Surely! In his room! On his bed! Taking care of her himself, and doing a
mighty fine job of it! Best she ever had I am quite sure," said Douglas.
"But Douglas!" cried Leslie in amazement.
"'But me no buts,' my lady!" warned Douglas.
