Stratton-Porter, Gene, 1863-1924

"Michael O'Halloran"


"Bring in the cow?" queried Mickey.
"Sure, the little red cow in the book that makes the milk. I want you to
milk her right here on my bed!"
"Well, if I ever!" gasped Mickey. "Sure, I'll bring her in a minute; but a
cow is big, Lily! Awful, great big. I couldn't bring her in here; but
maybe I can drive her where you can see, or I don't know what would be the
harm in taking you where the cows are. But first, one thing! Now you look
right at me, Miss Chicken. There's something I got to _know_ if you got in
your head _straight_. Who found you, and kept them from 'getting' you?"
"Mickey-lovest," replied Peaches promptly.
"Then who d'you belong to?" he demanded.
"Mickey!" she answered instantly.
"Who you got to do as I say?" he continued.
"Mickey," she repeated.
"Whose _family_ are you?" he pursued.
"Mickey's!" she cried. "Mickey, what's the matter? Mickey, I love you
best. I'm all yours. Mickey, I'll go back an' never say a word 'bout the
hotness, or the longness, or anything, if you don't _want_ me here.
