I love the Lord Jesus." Nora was very much confounded, and looked at Daisy as if a gap in the ground had suddenly separated them.
"So," Daisy went on, "as I have talents to use, I want to know what they are, for fear I shouldn't use them all.

I don't understand it yet, but I will think about it.

Now we will go on about the party if you like." "But Daisy----" said Nora.
"What ?" "Are you in earnest ?" "Certainly I am in earnest," said Daisy gravely.

"What makes you ask me?
Don't you think your brother is in earnest ?" "Marmaduke! oh yes,--but--you never told me of it before." "I didn't know it till yesterday," said Daisy simply, "that I loved the Lord Jesus; but I know I do now, and I am very glad; and I am going to be his servant." Her little face was very sweet and quiet as she looked at her little neighbour and said these words; but Nora was utterly confounded, and so nearly dismayed that she was silent; and it was not till several invitations in Daisy's usual manner had urged her, that she was able to get upon the subject of the party again and to discuss it with any spirit.

The discussion then did not come to any determination.
