CHAPTER XVI
22/28

I want that same splendid necklace for my girdle--shall I ?" "I suppose so, Nora." "You say 'I suppose so' to everything.

I want to _know_.

Shall I have that same pink silk thing over my hair ?" "That scarf?
yes." "And the red necklace on it?
and the bracelets?
and the gold and diamonds round my neck?
I won't be Esther if I don't have the dress." "I suppose you will have the dress," said Daisy; "of course you will.
But if you say you do not want to be Esther, they will make me do it." A hint that closed Nora's mouth.
