Poppy, I wish you had not lent all that money to Jasmine two days ago you have not any money in your pocket now, have you, Poppy?" Poppy gave a slight sigh. "Just the price of a third single to Rosebury, and no more, Miss Daisy, darling."
"She was taking care of a cheque of mine for seventeen pounds ten shillings," exclaimed Primrose, "and in her little note she speaks of the money being lost. I think nothing of the loss of the money beside Daisy, but, Mrs. Dredge, Jasmine and I cannot afford even a third-class ticket to Rosebury just at present." "Tut, tut, my dear," said Mrs.
