"I ask as your physician; because if you are using wrong measures for that end I shall forbid them.

What were you doing to get comfort ?" "I did not want to go to sleep, sir." "Daisy, I am going to carry you down to have some supper." "O, I do not want any, Dr.Sandford!" "Are you ready to go down ?" "No sir--in a minute,--I only want to brush my hair." "Brush it, then." Which Daisy did; then coming to her friend with a face as smoothly in order as the little round head, she repeated humbly, "I do not want anything, Dr.Sandford." "Shall I carry you down ?" "O no, sir." "Come then.

One way or the other.

And Daisy, when we are down stairs, and when you come up again, you must obey my orders." The supper-table was laid.

Mrs.Sandford expressed delight at seeing Daisy come in, but it would maybe have been of little avail had her kindness been the only force at work.
