[Melbourne House, Volume 2 by Susan Warner]@TWC D-Link bookMelbourne House, Volume 2 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.
She did not say she did not want to be Esther.
Mrs.Sandford was astonished at the change of performers; but Daisy's resignation was so simply made and naturally, and Nora's acceptance was so manifestly glad, that nobody could very well offer any hindrance.
