"Daisy," she said one morning at the breakfast-table, "would you like to go with June and carry some nice things down to Mrs. Parsons?" "How, mamma?" "How what? Do speak distinctly." "How shall I go, I mean?" "You may have the carriage. I cannot go, this morning or this afternoon." "Oh, papa, mayn't I take Loupe and drive there myself?"
At this hour, at Melbourne, my task would have been to get my flat hat and rush out among the beds of flowers; and a little later, to have up Loupe and go driving whither I would, among the meadows and cornfields. Ah, yes; and there was Molly who might be taught, and Juanita who might be visited; and Dr. Sandford who might come like a pleasant gale of wind into the midst of whatever I was about.
"Well, Daisy," said her father, who knew by experience what was likely to follow. "Papa," said Daisy as they sat down, "I want to ask you about something." "What is it?" "When I was in the chaise, driving Loupe the other day, papa, I heard something that I could not understand." "Did you?"
Yet it was not merely, nor so much, the bodily exertion she had made, as the mind work. The excitement both of pleasure and responsibility and eager desire. Altogether, Daisy was tired; and sat back in her chaise letting the reins hang languidly in her hands and Loupe go how he would. But Loupe judged it was best to get home and have some refreshment, so he bestirred himself.
Daisy drew the reins then and let Loupe walk slowly up a slight ascent in the road which led to it. But when the chaise was fairly opposite the house door, Daisy drew the reins still more and brought Loupe to a stand-still. She peered forth then anxiously to see if the poor old inmate of the house were to be seen anywhere.

"I saw them, papa, through the doorway of her house, I waited there while Sam went with Loupe to the blacksmith's." "And you did not go in?" "No, sir you said I must not, you know." "I believe Juanita is a safe person, Daisy. You may go in, if ever you have another opportunity." "Thank you, papa." "What are you going to do with the hundred dollars?" said Mr.
You're going to ride, aren't you?" "Yes, but Loupe! What shall we do with Loupe? You see, I shall be gone the whole day, Daisy it's likely. You'd get tired." "Why we could find somewhere to put Loupe Sam could take care of him. And I should like to go, Preston, if you think I would not frighten the fish." "O if Sam's going along, that is another matter," said Preston.
Sam, a capable black boy, was behind her on a pony not too large to shame her own diminutive equipage; and Loupe, a good-sized Shetland pony, was very able for more than his little mistress was going to ask of him.
"He couldn't have said it! for he said I might have the chaise this afternoon, and that Loupe wanted exercise. So, I am going to give him some. He wouldn't get it with you." "Ransom," said Daisy trembling, "I have got business at Crum Elbow, and I must go, and you must not." "Fiddlesticks!" said Ransom, snapping his fingers at her. "Business! I guess you have. Girls have a great deal of business!
