Again the doctor nodded, putting the card safely away in his wallet, and soon after Lester Stanwick took his departure, roundly cursing his luck, yet congratulating himself upon the fact that Daisy could not leave Elmwood he could rest content on that score. Meanwhile the three venerable sisters and the young doctor were watching anxiously at Daisy's bedside.
Stanwick? I asked. "She started up wildly, throwing her arms about my neck. "'Won't you please call me Daisy? she sobbed, piteously; 'just Daisy nothing else. "'Certainly, my dear, if you wish it, I replied. 'There is one question I would like to ask you, Daisy you have told me your mother is dead?
They could afford to have her in fresh laundered frills and they secretly enjoyed the manner in which she instructed them in social conventions. At her home-coming for the summer she brought to an end the meals in the kitchen; but when she left once more for Stanwick and school Ettie and Calvin without remark drifted back to the comfortable convenience of the table near the cooking stove.

They were all in the neighbourhood except Stanwick, which was in the North Riding, near Richmond.
PRESENTING myself at Nettlegrove Hall toward sunset, to take charge of Miss Laroche, I was met by an obstacle in the shape of a protest from her aunt. This good lady had been informed of the appearance of Captain Stanwick in the park, and she strongly disapproved of encouraging any further communication with him on the part of her niece.

The moment I heard this news the dread crossed my mind that Stanwick had found his way to Miss Laroche. In an hour more I was traveling to Nettlegrove Hall.

A servant accompanied me to show me the place of meeting.

"Is it wise, under the circumstances, to make appointments with Mr. Varleigh?" she said, when I had answered her question. I naturally inquired what she meant. My aunt replied, "I have met Captain Stanwick while I was out walking.

"I have asked you to choose between us," he said, calmly, "and you have chosen Rex regardless of all the promises of the past.
"John Brooks does not return before the coming spring, and Septima is removed from my path most effectually, and if Lester Stanwick manages his part successfully, I shall have little to fear from Daisy Brooks! How clever Lester was to learn Rex had been to the Detective Agency! How he must have loved that girl!" she cried, hotly, with a darkening brow.
