Spot Conlon and the girlsies

How brooklyn found out

I'se was six. It was about tree months afta da fire, an I ad been a newsie foa 'bout foa weeks.

I'se was walking back ta da alley Ise slept in, since Brooklyn don' got a real lodging house like hatten, and I don' want no boys finding out.

Anyway, ise was walking ta me alley when da Delancey bruddas jumped me. Dey wanted me money, which ise needed ta buy me papes da next day. Dey started ta soak me real bad when some Brooklyn newsies showed up, since we protect our own, and beat dem scabbers till dey could barely walk. One was obviously older, but Dey both could hold dere own, an den some.

And ise ran. As da Delancey bruddas was gettin soaked, ise ran. Ise didn't want no boys ta find out about me being a goil. Ise would get put in an orphanage.

Ise ran fast an far, but da Brooklyn newsies caught me. Dey were big, an I was small. Dey didn't wanna hoit me, just make sure ise was alright. But, I panicked, and squirmed to get away from dem, when my hat slipped, and my hair came falling out.

Dem boys stopped an stared. A goil newsie was in-hoid of den. Dey den made sure ise was alright, an told me dere names.

"I'm Knots, an dis here is me brudder, boidie." Said da old a one, who ise now knows as knots.

"What's your name?" Boidie piped up. He was about eight years old a den me, so foateen, while 'is brudder was about sixteen.

"Ise Seanie," Amelia never suited me, so why not?

"Well Seanie," Knots said, "How about youse comes back wid us ta da dock, an we'll cut youse's hair, so youse will really look like a boy?" 

"Yeah, and youse can sell wid us too!" Boidie exclaimed.

I knew he wanted to sell togeda cause ise liddle, but why  not, dey's nice enough. "Sure, but we split 50/50"

"Deal" said da boys, an off we went.
