"You can stroke its nose," said its owner, patronisingly. "Shall you call it Daisy?" asked Anna, reaching over the hurdles to pat the soft, velvety muzzle. "Mother says we mustn't have no more Daisies," said its mistress, shaking her little, round head gravely. "You see puppa called all the cows Daisy, after me, for ever so long.
Before he could reach it there came a thumping at the door, and a fluty voice cried: "Lemme in, puppa, lemme in!" Turnham threw the door open, and admitted a sturdy two-year-old, whom he led forward by the hand. "My son," he said, not without pride. Mahony would have coaxed the child to him; but it ran to its mother, hid its face in her lap. Forgetting the bell John struck an attitude.

A table was spread with a white cloth.
"Those are puppa's fields," said the child, "and this is puppa's farm." "You are Daisy Oswald, I suppose?" said Anna. "Your father asked me to come and see your cows." The little girl nodded. "I know what your name is," she said. "You're Miss Anna Forrest. Puppa fetched you over from the station. You came quick. Puppa was driving Strawberry Molly that day. No one can do it as quick as her."
