How many of you will pledge yourselves to start in with me, right away, tomorrow, and plan for another play, to be given in September?" They stared at her; they nodded at Juanita's protest: "I think one's enough for a while. It's going elegant tonight, but another play Seems to me it'll be time enough to talk about that next fall. Carol!
All the more glad were Juanita and she to see each other now. Daisy took off her flat and sat down on the old chintz couch, with a face of content. Yet it was grave content; not joyous at all. So Juanita's keen eyes saw, through all the talking which went on.

And though Daisy was very shy of intimacies with strangers, she liked to feel Juanita's hand on her shoulder; and after the paroxysm of tears was past, she still stood quietly by her, without attempting to increase the distance between them; till she saw Sam coming down the lane with the pony. "Good-bye," said Daisy, "there's the boy." "My lady will come to see old Juanita again?"
He relieved poor Juanita's fears in regard to Castle Kearney, by assuring her that the house still stood uninjured, and that it had not been attacked by the Indians. We were very sorry to have to part with Captain Norton, who had to return to the fort. He promised to pay a visit to Castle Kearney as soon as his duties would allow.

Daisy had no visitors until quite late in the afternoon; however it was a peaceful day. She lay quiet and happy, and Juanita was quite as well contented that the house should be empty, and they two alone. Late in the afternoon, Preston came.
The sight of Cousin Peligros, upright on a chair, dispelled Juanita's momentary gravity, however. "Oh, Cousin Peligros," she cried, running to her and taking both her hands. "Just think! I have left school. No more punishments no more grammar no more arithmetic!" Cousin Peligros had risen and endeavoured to maintain that dignity which she felt to be so beneficial an example to the world.
