Daisy had gone but a little way out of the village, when she suddenly pulled up.

Sam was at the side of the chaise immediately.
"Sam, I want a glass of water; where can I get it ?" "Guess at Mrs.Benoit's, Miss Daisy.

There's a fine spring of cold water." "Who is Mrs.Benoit ?" "It's Juanita--Miss Daisy has heard of Mrs.St.Leonard's Juanita.

Mr.
St.Leonard built a house for her,--just the other side o' them trees." Daisy knew who Juanita was.

She had been brought from the West Indies by the mother of one of the gentlemen who lived in the neighbourhood; and upon the death of her mistress had been established in a little house of her own.
