Such coolness, such perversity, such a headstrong flying in the face of their elders, she had never encountered in three young girls before. Poor Daisy quite sobbed, and even Jasmine felt a little frightened at Miss Martineau's bitter and angry words; but no language she could use, no threats of the direst failure she could utter, had power to shake Primrose's resolve.
