Fish and Mr. Stanfield were to go too; and Mr. and Mrs. Sandford, the doctor's brother and sister-in-law. However, though this was to be such a strong muster, Daisy thought of only two or three of the number that concerned her personally.
They place her beside the Edgeworths, and the Barbaulds, and the Opies, who have so long delighted and instructed us; and there is little doubt, that as she becomes known, so will her works be valued as highly as any of the most popular works of the above justly-famed authors, causing her name to become a "Household Word" as a pleasing and instructive writer. Sandford and Merton.
"Now sit down and I will talk to you." "How she is growing tall, Grant!" said Mrs. Sandford. "Yes," said he. "Did you sleep well, Daisy?" "No, sir; I couldn't sleep. And then I dreamed." "Dreaming is not a proper way of resting. So tired you could not sleep?" "I do not think it was that, Dr. Sandford." "Do you know what it was?" "I think I do," I said, a little unwillingly.
He did not say anything more; yet his eyes so steadily waited for what further she had to say, that Daisy fidgeted; like a fascinated creature, obliged to do what it would not. She could not help looking into Dr. Sandford's face, and she could not withstand what she saw there. "Dr. Sandford," she began in her old-fashioned way, "you are asking me what is private between my mother and me."
"The sooner these affairs are got over the better." "Undoubtedly," said my cousin, with unusual bitterness in his tone. "My first-lieutenant wid act for me. He is a man of honour and a friend. I have perfect confidence in him. I will send him to you." I moved away from the skylight. My cousin came on deck, where he was joined by Mr Sandford, who, after a minute's conversation, went into the cabin.
"Is it?" "If you like wonderful things as well as ever." "Oh, I do!" I said. "What is it, Dr. Sandford?" He carefully wrapped up his treasure in a bit of paper and put it in his pocket; then he cut down a small hickory branch and began to fan me with it; and while he sat there fanning me he entered upon a lecture such as I had never listened to in my life.
"It won't matter much," Mrs. Sandford repeated. But yet I found she cared, and it did matter, when it came to the dressing-time. However she was satisfied with one of the embroidered muslins my mother had sent me from Paris. I think I see myself now, seated in the omnibus and trundling over the plain to the cadets' dancing-rooms. The very hot, still July night seems round me again.
He was a benevolent eccentric, and used his income, which was increased by his marriage with an heiress, in schemes of social reform as he understood it. He is chiefly remembered as the author of the once universally-read History of Sandford and Merton. Journalist and novelist, s. of a butcher in St. Giles, where he was b.
Alice rose to her feet, with a glow of resentment on her hitherto pale face. And Greenleaf, feeling that courtesy was now wholly unnecessary, exclaimed, "Miss Sandford, you have said quite as much as was proper for a young girl to hear: your own cheeks, I presume, are proof against any indelicate surprise. Let me ask you to stop, before" "Before what, Sir?
"I do not want anything, Dr. Sandford." "Shall I carry you down?" "O no, sir." "Come then. One way or the other. And Daisy, when we are down stairs, and when you come up again, you must obey my orders." The supper-table was laid. Mrs. Sandford expressed delight at seeing Daisy come in, but it would maybe have been of little avail had her kindness been the only force at work. It was not.
