Stratton-Porter, Gene, 1863-1924

"Michael O'Halloran"

You
must figure that whatever kind of work you find, or whoever you work for,
there will be things you won't like or think fair, but if you are going to
be your own man, you must begin like a man; and of course a man doesn't go
into business with his mind made up to run for his mother's petticoats,
the first thing that displeases him. No, I guess if you go, you must start
with your mind made up to stay till the October term of school opens,
anyway."
"Then we'll call that settled," said Peter. "You may go with Mickey on the
Monday morning car and we probably won't see you again till you are one of
the leading business men of Multiopolis, and drive out in your automobile.
Have you decided which make you'll get?"
"Well from what I've learned driving yours, if I were buying one myself,
I'd get a Glide-by," said Junior. "They strike me as the best car on the
market."
Peter glanced sharply at his son. When he saw that the answer was
perfectly sincere, his heart almost played him the trick he had expected
from his wife.
