Daisy's eyes followed, straining after him as long as they could; and when she could see him no longer they filled with tears again. She was looking as intent and wistful as if she might have been thirty years old instead of nine or ten, when Juanita came to her side with the tea she had been making.
"Very!" said Daisy, with a good deal of eagerness, more than she wished to show. "I wish you would forbid it, Dr. Sandford," said Daisy's mother. "I do not believe in such a method of study, nor wish Daisy to be engrossed with any study at all. She is not fit for it." "Whereabouts are you?" said the doctor to Daisy. "We are just getting through the wars of the Roses." "Ah!
The lady looked on, with what seemed a doubtful eye. Nobody watched it. Her husband's eyes were often closed; Daisy's little head lay on his breast, quiet enough, unless when she moved it to give soft noiseless kisses to her father's cheek. They remained so a good while, with scarce any word spoken; and Mrs. Randolph was busy at her tetting. The light faded; the evening drew on.
Hollyhock whispered certain directions to her followers to try to get Daisy out of the way. This they promised, feeling quite sure that they could easily manage it. Just as Daisy's last morsel of candle expired a voice sounded from afar: 'Daisy Watson, you are wanted in the house. Go in as fast as you can!
Sweeter than breath borne on the scented seas, Over fresh fields, and brought to weary shores, It should await the season's worshipper; But as a star shines on the daisy's eye, So shines great Conscience on the face of Peace, And lends it calmer lustre with the dew: When that star dims, the paling floweret fades!
Gary when all had been in their places some minutes, and conversation was the only thing moving. "What are we staying here for?" "Sam." "Where's Sam?" "He is yonder in our late place of shelter. James and Michael have gone to fetch him with Daisy's chair." "Sam! Why, he might have stayed there till to-morrow and no hurt. Have we got to wait till the men go there and bring him back?
Daisy gave him a quick look of wisdom and suspicion mingled. The doctor was getting a very good amusement himself, and quite entered into the matter. He waited for Daisy's answer. It came diplomatically. "Isn't everything good for something, sir?" "'Pon my word, I don't know," said the doctor. "My enquiry was for the grounds of your opinion, Daisy." "It was not an opinion.
But Daisy's face was too much in earnest. "I think I cannot grant that request," said her father. "You must tell me." Daisy looked distressed. But she dared not evade the order, though she feared very much what might come of it. "I didn't buy the ham for the party, papa." "Then for what?" "I bought it, papa, for a little girl who was going without her breakfast. She came to Mr.
Daisy's readings and sweet companionship with her father were constant, and grew sweeter as he grew stronger. But the strengthening process was not rapid. About a fortnight had passed, when Mrs. Sandford one day made enquiry about it of her brother-in-law. "Slow work " said the doctor. "He will get over it, won't he?" "I hope he will." "But cannot anything be done for him, Grant?"
"O no, sir. O no, Dr. Sandford, please! I am not ready I would rather not go down stairs to-day. Please don't take me!" "To-morrow you must, Daisy. I shall not give you any longer than till then." Away went Dr. Sandford to the library; kept Daisy's counsel, and told Mrs. Randolph she was to remain in her room to-day. "She thinks too much," he said. "There is too much self-introversion."
