"Please, spare those daisies," cried Emilia. "Why do you cut away daisies?" The gardener objected that he really must make the lawn smooth. Emilia called to Adela, who came, and hearing the case, said: "Now this is nice of you. I like you to love daisies and wish to protect them. They disfigure a lawn, you know." And Adela stooped, and picked one, and called it a pet name, and dropped it.
The drum awoke from its torpor, and summoned its brethren of the band to give their various versions of the National Anthem. "Can't they be stopped?" Emilia murmured, clenching her little hands. The patriotic melody, delivered in sturdy democratic fashion, had to be endured. It died hard, but did come to an end, piecemeal. Tom Breeks then retired from the front, and became a unit once more.
Emilia, who sat next after Fiammetta, the courage of the marchioness and the quaint rebuke administered by her to the King of France having been commended of all the ladies, began, by the queen's pleasure, boldly to speak as follows: "I also, I will not keep silence of a biting reproof given by an honest layman to a covetous monk with a speech no less laughable than commendable.

So, now, when Emilia was beckoned to the piano, she passed by Wilfrid, and had a cold look in return for beaming eyes. According to directions, Emilia sang a simple Neapolitan air. The singer was unknown, and was generally taken for another sacrifice. "Come; that's rather pretty," Lady Gosstre hailed the close. "It is of ze people such as zat," assented Mr. Pericles.
He was in time to see Braintop lean hurriedly over the box, and snatch his pocket-mirror from the gentleman's hand. "Ha! ha!" he laughed, as if a comic gleam had illumined him. A portion of the pit and stalls laughed too. Emilia smiled merrily.
