'Well, then, do you know a book called The Daisy Chain ?' We didn't.
'It's by Miss Charlotte M.Yonge,' Daisy interrupted, 'and it's about a family of poor motherless children who tried so hard to be good, and they were confirmed, and had a bazaar, and went to church at the Minster, and one of them got married and wore black watered silk and silver ornaments.

So her baby died, and then she was sorry she had not been a good mother to it.

Through the rustle and bustle and hustle of the struggle with Dicky, Oswald heard the voice of Denny murmuring one of his everlasting quotations-- '"Come back, come back!" he cried in Greek, "Across the stormy water, And I'll forgive your Highland cheek, My daughter, O my daughter!"' When quiet was restored and Dicky had agreed to go through with the Council, Denny said-- 'The Daisy Chain is not a bit like that really.

It's a ripping book.
