Stratton-Porter, Gene, 1863-1924

"Michael O'Halloran"

"That will be as your
father says."
Junior turned toward his father, doubt in his eye, to receive a shock.
There was not a trace of surprise or disapproval on the face of Peter.
"Now maybe that would be the best way in the world for you to help me
out," he said. "You see me through planting and harvest and then I'll
arrange to spare you, and you can see how you like it till fall. But you
are too young to give up school and I don't agree to interrupting your
education."
Mrs. Harding entered the car. "Now Mickey," she said as she distributed
parcels, "you sit up there with Peter and show him the way, and we will go
see if we want to undertake the care of your little girl for a week."
"Drop the anchor, furl the sail, right here," directed Mickey when they
reached Sunrise Alley. "You know I told you dearest lady, about how scared
my little girl is, having seen so few folks and not expecting you; so I'll
have to ask you to wait a few minutes 'til I go up and get her used to
your being here and then I'll have to sort of work her up to you one at a
time.
