Peaches' smile was irresistible: "Mickey, I feel so p'lite! I'll see the
nice lady first."
"Now there's a real, sure-enough lady!"
Mickey stooped to kiss Peaches again, take a last look at the hair ribbon,
and straighten the sheet, then he ran; but he closed in the heat quickly
as he slipped through the doorway. A few seconds later with the Harding
family at his heels he again approached it. There he made his second
speech. He addressed it to Peter and Junior.
"'Cause she's so little and so scared, I guess the nice lady better go in
first, and make up with her. Then one at a time you can come, so so many
strangers won't upset her."
Peter assented heartily, but with a suffocating gesture removed his coat,
so Junior followed his example. Mickey cut short something about "extreme
heat" on the lips of Mrs. Harding by indicating the door, and opening it.
He quickly closed it after her, advancing to Peaches.
"Lily, this is the nice lady I was telling you of who has got the bird
singing and the flower-fields----" he began.
