Stratton-Porter, Gene, 1863-1924

"Michael O'Halloran"

We are to go back and forth each morning and
evening. I never was at the lake before, but it's not far from the club
house and it's beautiful. I think most of all I shall enjoy the swimming
and fishing."
"I haven't had experience with water enough to swim in," said Mickey. "A
tub has been my limit. You'll have a fine time all right, and thank you
for asking me. I think Miss Winton is great. Ain't it funny how many fine
folks there are in the world? 'Most every one I meet is too nice for any
use; but I don't know any Swell Dames, my people are just common folks."
"You wouldn't call Miss Winton a 'Swell Dame,' then?"
"Well I should say nix!" cried Mickey. "You wouldn't catch her motoring
away to a party and leaving her baby to be slapped and shook out of its
breath by a mad nurselady, 'cause she left it herself where the sun hurt
its eyes. She wouldn't put a little girl that couldn't walk in any
Orphings' Home where no telling what might happen to her! She'd fix her a
Precious Child and take her for a ride in her car and be careful with
her.
