So she faced the doctor, and answered him with the sedateness of fifty years "I can't very well tell you, Dr. Sandford." "You have been shedding tears to-day?" "Yes, sir " said Daisy, softly. "A good many of them? You have been lying here with your face to the window, crying quietly, a good part of the afternoon have you not?" "Yes, sir," said Daisy, wondering at him.
"Who would be that scolding old woman?" "No matter, because we can't get Dr. Sandford. We are not to have grown folks at all. It is a pity Ransom is not here. We shall have to get Alexander Fish or Hamilton! Hamilton will do. He's a good-looking fellow." "You would do a great deal better," said Daisy. "And Alexander would not do at all. He has not a bit the look of a king about him."
"Well, I am very glad, if you don't," said Mrs. Sandford. "And I am very glad Grant has taken himself off to the White Lakes. He gave nobody else any chance. It will do you a world of good." "What will?" I asked, wondering. "Amusement, dear, amusement. Something a great deal better than Grant's 'elegies and 'ologies. Now this would never have happened if he had been at home."
Sandford did not call after the girl, but suffered her to go down stairs and leave the house without an effort to detain her. "She must gang her ain gait," said the lady, fretfully and with a measure of hardness in her voice. On reaching the street, Ethel Ridley the reader has guessed her name walked away with slow, unsteady steps. She felt helpless and friendless. Mrs.
Sandford had been coached in his part by Indiman, and the preparations for the experiment being finally perfected, Sydenham was called in. He appeared, dressed in the same clothes that he had worn the month before, looking a little pale, indeed, but resolute and collected. "Mr. Sydenham," said Indiman, keeping his eyes fixed on the young man's face, "you will observe that this is January 9, 1903.
Sandford approved of me; I triumphed, so far, in the consciousness that I had made good my claim to my position, and was in no danger of being shoved away on the score of incompetency. "Doctor," said Preston when we came round to him, "won't you send away Miss Randolph out of a place that she is not fit for?" "I will," said Dr. Sandford grimly, "when I find such a place."
The road which skirted these houses was shaded with large old trees, and on the edge of the greensward under the trees we found a number of iron seats placed for the convenience of spectators. And here, among many others, Dr. Sandford and I sat down. There was a long line of the grey uniforms now drawn up in front of us; at some little distance; standing still and doing nothing, that I could see.
"I do not think they will take Washington," I said. "I am in no hurry, for my part, to get away. Look do you say maroon or dark purple for this bit of grounding? I cannot make up my mind." Mrs. Sandford dived into the purples and browns of my coloured wools; came back again to McDowell and Beauregard, but came back quieted, and presently left the room.
"I like it very much to-day," I said. "It would be safe, for you to keep Daisy's money in your own pocket, Grant," Mrs. Sandford said. "It will be stolen from her, certainly." The doctor smiled and stretched out his hand; I put the bills into it; and away we went. My head was very busy. I knew, as Mrs.
"Yes, papa." He let her go; and a significant look passed between him and his wife. "A little too much of a good thing," said Mr. Randolph. "It will be too much, soon," the lady answered. Nevertheless Daisy for the present was safe, thanks to her friend Dr. Sandford; and she passed on upstairs with a spirit as light as a bird.
