It is a term apt to be applied to people that are stiff in their religion." "Papa," said Daisy when an interval of five minutes had passed,--"I do not see how people can be stiff in their religion." "Don't you.

Why not ?" "Papa, I do not see how it can be _stiff_, to love God and do what he says." "No--" said Mr.Randolph; "but people can be stiff in ways of their own devising." "Ways that are not in the Bible, papa ?" "Well--yes." "But papa, it cannot be _stiff_, to do what God says we must do ?" "No,--of course not," said Mr.Randolph getting up.

A nice little loaf, fresh baked, was supplied by Joanna, along with some cold rolls.
"She will like those, I dare say," said Daisy.
