So Daisy was in another perplexity; and resolved that to be as safe as she could, she would read with locked doors for the future.

And as doors must not be locked at times when her mother might be coming and going, Daisy chose early morning and late evening for her Bible-reading.

She used to let June undress her, and finish all her duties of dressing-maid; then she sent her away and locked her doors, and read in comfort.

This lasted a little while; then one unlucky night Daisy forgot to unlock her doors.

The morning came, and June with it; but June could neither get in nor dare knock loud enough to make Daisy hear; she was obliged to come round through her mistress's dressing-room.
