For it was real to Daisy.

She knew that the devil does in truth try to bewitch and wile people out of doing right into doing wrong.

She knew that he tries to get the mastery of them; that he rejoices every time to sees them make a "false move;" that he is a great cunning enemy, all the worse because we cannot see him, striving to draw people to their ruin; and she thought that it was far too serious and dreadful a thing to be made a _play_ of.

She wondered if guardian angels did really watch over poor tempted souls and try to help them.

And all this brought upon Daisy's face a shade of awe, and sorrow, and fear, which was strangely in keeping with her character as an angel, and very singular in its effect on the picture.
