"Now you look as you ought to look!" "I don't think mamma would think so," said Daisy panting and laughing.
"Yes, she would.

Now tell me--do you call yourself a soldier ?" "I don't know whether there can be such little soldiers," said Daisy.
"If there can be, I am." "And what fighting do you expect to do, little one ?" "I don't know," said Daisy.

"Not very well." "What enemies are you going to face ?" But Daisy only looked rather hard at the Captain and made him no answer.
"Do you expect to emulate the charge of the Light Brigade, in some tilt against fancied wrong ?" Daisy looked at her friend; she did not quite understand him, but his last words were intelligible.
"I don't know," she said meekly.

"But if I do it will not be because the order is a _mistake_, Capt.

Drummond." The Captain bit his lip.
