Stratton-Porter, Gene, 1863-1924

"Michael O'Halloran"

Once I am started, with Mickey and Junior to help me, I'm going
to call a meeting and talk these things over with my neighbours, and get
them to join in if I can. If I can't, I'll go on and put up the building
and start things as I think they should be, and charge enough admittance
to get back what I invest; and after that, just enough to pay running
expenses and for the talent we use. I'm so sure it can be done, I'm going
to do it. Will you help me, son?"
"Yes father, I'd think it was fine to help do that," said Junior. "_Now_
may I say what I want to?"
"Why yes, you might son," said Peter, "but to tell the truth I can't see
that you have anything to say. If you have got the idea, Junior, that you
have wronged us any, and that it's your job to ask us to forgive you for
wanting to try the things we started and kept you hankering after all your
life so far, why you're mistaken. If I'd trained you from your cradle to
love your home, as I've trained you to love Multiopolis, you never would
have left us.
