I know you'll think I'm crazy----"
"I won't!" interrupted Mickey. "You go on and tell me! The sameness of it
is getting you and----"
"Just the way you flew around and did things last night perfectly amazed
me. I never saw a boy like you before; you helped me better and with more
sense than any woman I ever hired, and thinking it over last night, I said
to myself, 'Now if Mickey would be willing to trade jobs with me, it would
give me a change, and it wouldn't be any more woman's work for him than
what he _is_ doing----"
"Well never you mind about the 'woman's work' part of it," said Mickey.
"That doesn't cut any ice with me. It's men's work to eat, and I don't
know who made a law that it was any more 'woman's work' to cook for men
than it is their own. If there _is_ a law of that kind, I bet a liberty-
bird the _men_ made it. I haven't had my show at law-making yet, but when
I get it, there are some things I can see right now that I'm going to fix
for Lily, and I'd sooner fix them for you too, than not.
