To whom are you carrying a rose-bush?" "I am afraid nobody." "What is the matter or the doubt?" "It is a question of duty, Dr. Sandford." "Then I will decide it for you. Go on and do what you wish to do. That will be right." "Oh, no, sir," said Daisy, smiling at her adviser that is just what would be wrong. I cannot." "Cannot what?" "Do that, sir; do what I wish to do."
Have you agreed to give your cousin half the evening?" "No, ma'am I could not I am engaged for every dance, and more." "More!" said Mrs. Sandford. "Yes ma'am for the next time." "Preston has reason!" she said, laughing. "But I think, Daisy, Grant will be the most jealous of all. Do him good. What will become of his sciences and his microscope now?"
She went down to breakfast as usual, but she did not bow her little head to give any thanks or make any prayers. She hoped the breakfast would pass off quietly. So it did as to that matter. But another subject came up. "What became of you last night at supper, Daisy?" her aunt asked. "Dr. Sandford was enquiring for you.
"Say, Jack," said Sandford, "what did you mean by that fool cable, anyhow?" Hillard had been patiently waiting for an opening of this sort. "And what did you mean by hoaxing me?" "Hoaxing you?" "That's the word. I was in your house that night; I was there as surely as I am here to-night." "Nell, am I crazy, or is it Jack?" "Sometimes," said Mrs.
If I were you, I wouldn't bluster until a certain piece of paper was safe in my possession." "Do you suppose I ever forget that paper, or how you bullied it out of me? But you know that at the time when I used that five hundred dollars, I had money enough, and felt as sure of returning it the next day as you do of paying the ten thousand you had of Monroe." Sandford started.
Have you been all this time pleasing Margaret and not yourself?" "No, sir," I said, "if you please. I cannot explain it, Dr. Sandford; but I know it is right." "What is right, Daisy? My faculties are stupid." "No, sir; but let it be as it is, please." "But won't you explain it? I ought to know what I am giving my consent to, Daisy; for just now I am constituted your guardian.
Sandford, of something that she either thought would please Nora or that she felt called for by her own tastes; and in each case Mrs. Sandford declared the suggestion had been an improvement.
One does those things quietly and the world never knows. But I hailed it as a great relief when Mrs. Sandford rose from the table. "Poor Daisy!" she said. "I must leave you to yourself again all alone. It's too bad!" "I like it very well so," I told her. "It mustn't go on," she said. "Really it must not. You will mope, if you don't already. Don't you, Daisy? Where are all your admirers?"
Besides, you should not be severe upon all because one prominent person has proved unworthy." "Sandford is a type of the class. If there is anybody I hate worse than a sick beggar, it is a man who makes a trade of philanthropy." "And yet you are consenting to your friend's earning a living by teaching a ragged school." "True, one may stop at any place in a storm, just for shelter."
"You are not to go," I said. "I shall not dance with you once," and I took my former place by Mrs. Sandford. Preston fumed; declared that I was just like a piece of marble; and went away. I did not feel quite so impassive as he said I looked. "What are you going to wear to-night, Daisy?" Mrs. Sandford asked presently. "I do not know, ma'am." "But you must know soon, my dear.
