Since you are so expert at seeing things, and since you've traded work
with my wife, to _rest her_ by _changing her job_, suppose you just keep
your eyes open, and make out a list of what she should have to do her work
convenient and easy as can be, and of course, comfortably. That stove's
hot yet! And breakfast been over an hour too! Nothing like it must be
going full blast, and things steaming and frying!"
"Sure!" said Mickey.
"Watch a few days, and then we'll talk it over. If it is your train time,
ride down with Junior, and I'll stay in the house till she comes. I guess
Little White Butterfly won't wake up; and if she does, she'll be all right
with me. Mary dresses herself and Bobbie. Is Mary helping her Ma right?"
"Well some," said Mickey. "Not all she could! But her taking care of
Bobbie is a big thing. Junior could do a lot of things, but he doesn't
seem to see them, and----"
"And so could I?" asked Peter. "Is that the ticket?"
"Yes," said Mickey.
