The unequal relation between them appears in a story told by Erasmus; that More delighted her once by bringing home a present of sham jewels, and apparently did not think it necessary to undeceive her about them.
The healthful exercise of rowing, together with the fresh, cool breeze, gave Daisy a hearty appetite, and the apple and biscuit afforded her quite a pleasant lunch. Poor Daisy! The pretty little girl-bride had no more thought of danger than a child.
"The old shaft shall be my tomb," she said; "no one will think of looking for me there." Poor little Daisy unhappy girl-bride, let Heaven not judge her harshly she was sorely tried.
