They had gone to Hooley's and Sam T. Jack's, then to the Athletic Club and then they called on Hinky Dink and "Bath-House John," the famous Cook County literary light. Where else they had gone they could not remember.
"Where is Cousin Dink?" she asked Polly. "I don't know and I don't care one bit," said Polly, without meaning to be pert but simply declaring the truth. "But did she not bring you here?" "No ma'm! She yanked us out of bed this morning and made us dress just as fast as we could and then she pulled us out in the street " "Did you have no breakfast?"
Dink, too, was in an embrace, but not such a loving one. She had no idea who these persons were who had come upon the scene of action at such an untimely moment.

"Polly said Daddy would be a soldier angel and now I'm in heaven with him. Ol' Dink scairt me to death." He closed his eyes contentedly. "Mother! Mother!" cried Polly.
