She looked up.
"Daisy--" said her mother quietly--"come here." Daisy left her seat and went round to her mother's side.
"You may go up stairs," said Mrs.Randolph.
"Mamma ?"-- "Go--and remain till I send for you." Daisy slipped away quietly, before anybody could notice that she was gone or going.

Then slowly went up the stairs and along the passages to her own room.

It was empty and dark, except for the moonlight without; June had not expected her to be there, and had not made preparation.
Daisy went and kneeled down in her old place by her window; her eyes filled as full of tears as they could hold.

She bent her little head to brush them away, but they came again.

Daisy was faint and tired; she wanted her supper very much; and she had enjoyed the supper-table very much; it was a great mortification to exchange it for the gloom and silence of her moonlit room.
