After all, I am of age and independent." A very tender smile touched Daisy's lips. "I think you had better go, darling," she said. Muriel opened her eyes wide. "But why " Daisy checked the question half uttered. "I think it will be better for you. I never meant to let you stay till the rains, so it makes little more than a week's difference. It sounds as if I want to be rid of you, doesn't it?
If Daisy had put the question at the other end of the table, there would have been an end of the business, as she knew. As it was, her father's "yes" got out just before her mother's "no." "Yes she may," said Mr. Randolph "no harm. John, tell Sam that he is to take the black pony and go with the pony-chaise whenever Miss Daisy drives. Daisy, see that he goes with you." "Well," said Mrs.
Daisy was more eager than he; she wanted very much to have a trilobite for her own keeping; the difficulty was, she did not know how to look for it. All she could do was to follow her friend and watch all his doings and direct him to new spots in the mountain that he had not tried.
On the following morning, when the flower once more stretched forth its tender petals, like little arms, towards the air and light, the daisy recognised the bird's voice, but what it sang sounded so sad. Indeed the poor bird had good reason to be sad, for it had been caught and put into a cage close by the open window.
"Daisy did, ma'am. I am speaking sober truth, aunt Felicia." "What is her motive in going to that horrid place? can you understand?" "Its disagreeableness, ma'am so far as I can make out." "It is very singular," said Mrs. Gary. "It is very deplorable," said Mrs. Randolph. "So at least it seems to me. There will be nothing in common soon between Daisy and her family."
This was hard walking for Daisy to-day; she did not feel like struggling with any difficulties, and her poor little feet almost refused to carry her through the roughnesses of the last part of the way. She was very glad when they reached the ground where the Captain wanted to explore, and she could sit down and be still. It was quite on the other side of the mountain; a strange looking place.
"Why not?" he demanded, a merciless smile stirring beneath his heavy mustache. "I consider that you belong to me. I mean to make you my wife in very truth." Daisy threw up her hands in a gesture of terror heart-breaking to see, shrinking away from him in quivering horror, her sweet face ashen pale. "Oh, go away, go away!" she cried out. "I am growing afraid of you.
Meanwhile Daisy reached the hotel, and without going to her own room, bade Sarah tell her the way to No. . "What! Oh, Miss McDonald! You surely are not " Sarah gasped, clutching at the dress, which her mistress took from her grasp, saying: "Yes, I am going to see that lady. I know her, or of her, and I'm not afraid. Must we let her die alone?"
Now I'm in the automobile business, and I help to make people get out into the country bet a lot more of them get out because of motoring than because of reading poetry about spring. But if I claimed a temperament because I introduce the motorist's soul to the daisy, every one would die laughing." "But don't you think that art is the oh, the object of civilization and that sort of thing?"
Jasmine looked very pretty while she was speaking, and little Daisy admired her high-flown words, and fully believed in her genius. "Do soar, Jasmine, darling," she said; "I have not a notion how you are to do it, but do begin at once. It will make these rooms more than ever like a Palace Beautiful if you take to soaring in them."
