Then she turned to the hero of the day. "I thought it was death," she said.

I have remarked that you watch me quite closely whenever I am engaged in conversation with my ward or her governess, and yesterday, when Muriel came, stood by me, and leaned her arm on my shoulder, you frowned and looked harshly at the child. Once for all, let me tell you that there is no more possibility of my loving Muriel or Edith, than Salome.
Let me kneel beside you. It will not take me long. It isn't just for my own sake I am going to speak, nor yet entirely for yours. You will see presently. Don't ask me anything please till I have done. And then if if there is anything you want to know, I will try to tell you." "Come and lie beside me," Muriel urged. But Daisy would not.
