"I am afraid I have spoiled thee. But it is thy brother whom we must consider. He may have some rights." "What rights, indeed, to a rebel maiden who would hate the sight of so many red coats together?" "Still thou dost love him a little. Surely he is thy nearest kin." "I can never think whether I love him dearly or only a little. When I pull a daisy out it says only a little.
"Is still," he declared, sharply, "but I shall never attain to it. To-night I had to leave Maud to leave the supper table of Daisy Villa through the window!" She looked at him in amazement. "The police," he explained. "That brute Dory was at the bottom of it." "But surely," she murmured, "you told me that you had a bona-fide situation "

"My dears," she began, "I have a surprise for you. Cora has taken a run home she really had to go, but she will be back by nightfall. Now, there," to Daisy, "you must not pout.

"Daisy, have you heard lately from your father or mother?" My breath came short as I said no. "Nor have I. Failing orders from them, you are bound to respect mine; and I order you change of air, and to go wherever Mrs. Sandford proposes to take you." "Not before school closes, Dr. Sandford?" "Do you care about that?" "My dear child," said Mrs.
Many a passing fisherman cast admiring glances at the charming little fairy, so sweet and so daring, out all alone on the smiling, treacherous, dancing waves so far away from the shore.

"I thank you very much for your confidence in me, sir," said Daisy, simply. "Tut, tut, child!" exclaimed the old man, brusquely. "That innocent little face of yours ought to be a passport to any one's confidence. I don't think there's any doubt but what you will get on famously with Maria that's my sister Mrs. Glenn but she's got three daughters that would put an angel's temper on edge.
