Stratton-Porter, Gene, 1863-1924

"Michael O'Halloran"

I guess Peter is the safest
proposition I know. Course he wouldn't ever put a little flowersy-girl in
any old Orphings' Home. Sure he wouldn't! He wouldn't put his own there,
course he wouldn't mine!"
"Mickey, what do you think?" asked Douglas as he entered. "I've moved to
the country!"
Mickey stared. Then came his slow comment: "Gee! The cows an' the clover
gets all of us!"
"I can beat that," said Douglas. "I'm going to live beside a lake where I
can swim every night and morning, and catch big bass, and live on
strawberries from the vines and cream straight from the cow----"
"I thought you'd get to the cow before long."
"And you are invited to go out with me as often as you want to, and you
may arrange to have Lily out too! Won't that be fine?"
Mickey hesitated while his eyes grew speculative, before he answered with
his ever ready: "Sure!"
"Miss Winton made a plan for her father and me," explained Douglas. "She
knew we would lose our vacations this summer, so she took an old cabin on
Atwater, and moved out.
