Daisy turned her wistful eyes to where he was; sitting in a group of ladies and gentlemen, talking.

Daisy could not go to him.
Further along, Mrs.Gary was fighting the heat under a tree by herself.
No attraction there.

Still further--the doctor was standing talking to the two young ladies.

As Daisy looked, he quitted them and came towards her.
"Have I spoiled all your pleasure, Daisy ?" "No, sir." "Are you angry with me ?" The answer this time was given with such an affectionate bright smile that the doctor must have been hard not to feel it.
"You do not seem to have much pleasure on hand just now," said he; "would you like to take a little walk with me, and see if we can find any wonderful things ?" Daisy's face was quite answer enough, it was so full of content.

The doctor had no intention to tire her; be strolled along the borders of the lake, which was wild and lovely all the more as they got further away from the pic-nic ground.
