In three minutes she was back again, with her hat and gloves in her hand.
The doctor threw down his newspaper and drew her up to him.
"Daisy, can you be quiet ?" "I think so, Dr.Sandford." "I think so too; therefore I tell you beforehand that I wish it.

Your father has not fully recovered his strength yet; and it would not be good for him to be excited.

You will be very glad to see him, and he will be very glad to see you; that is quite enough; and it would be too much, if you were to shew him _how_ glad you are." Daisy said nothing, but she thought within herself she could not do that! "Can you command yourself, Daisy ?" "I will try, Dr.Sandford." "You _must_ do it--for my sake," added the doctor.
"Dr.Sandford," said Daisy, "was that what you meant ?" "When ?" "When you said, if I was a good child ?" "It must have been that I meant, I think.

I could have said it in no other connection." "The pony-chaise, ma'am, for Miss Randolph--" said a servant at the door.
"The chaise may go away again, Daisy, I suppose," said Mrs.Sandford.
"You will not want it." "Yes, she will," said the doctor,--"to drive to Melbourne.

Go, Daisy, since you are ready; I will follow you.
