What do you mean by 'everything' ?" "Are you studying for Sunday-school, Daisy?
that isn't the lesson." "No," said Daisy sorrowfully; "if I was, I could ask Mr.Dinwiddie.
That's why I want you to help me, Nora; so think and tell me what he said." "Well, _that_," said Nora, "he said that; he said the talents meant everything God has given people to work with for him." "What could they work with besides money ?" said Daisy.
"Why _everything_, Duke says; all they've got; their tongues and their hands and their feet, and all they know, and all their love for people; and even the way we do things, our studies and all, Marmaduke says.

What do you want to know for, Daisy ?" "I was thinking about it," answered Daisy evasively.

"Wait a minute, Nora,--I want to write it down, for fear I should forget something." "What _are_ you going to do ?" exclaimed Nora.

"Are you going to teach a class yourself ?" Daisy did not answer, while she was writing down with a pencil what Nora had said and making her repeat it for that purpose.

When she had done she looked a little dubiously off towards the woods, while Nora was surprised and disappointed into silence.
"I think perhaps I ought to tell you----" was Daisy's slow conclusion.
"I want to know what this means, that I may do it, Nora." "_Do_ it ?" "Yes," said Daisy turning her quiet eyes full upon her companion--"I want to try to please God.
