"Did she cry for me?" asked Mickey.
"Yes she did," admitted Peter, who hadn't a social lie in his being, "but when he offered to put off the examination till he might come again, she climbed from the cot and made him take her. Ma went with her."
"The Sunshine Nurse came?" questioned Mickey.
"Yes," said Peter, "and Mrs. Minturn. She sent for him to see about an operation on a child she is trying to save, so when it was over, he showed her your letter. She brought them out in her car, and Ma went back with them."
"She may be on that glass table right now," gulped Mickey. "What time is it? When's the next car? Run me to the station will you, and if you've got any money, let me have it 'til I get to mine."
"Of course!" said Peter.
"Will Junior and Mary be all right?" asked Mickey, pausing in his extremity to think of others.
"Yes, they often stay while we go."
"Hurry!" begged Mickey.
Peter took hold of the gear and faced straight ahead.
