CHAPTER X
17/17

Unless you wish your daughter to grow up a confirmed _religieuse_, Mr.Randolph.Do you wish that ?" "I have not considered it.

What do you suppose Daisy will do to harm herself, at this place Dr.Sandford speaks of ?" "Some absurdity, that just cherishes the temper she is in." "Quite as likely"-- to wear it out, Mr.Randolph was going to say; but some remembrance of Daisy came up and stopped him.
"Good evening!" said the doctor, rising to his feet.
"Are you going, Dr.Sandford ?" "Yes." "Then you recommend that we let Daisy go to this place, and alone ?" "In my capacity of physician I should _order_ it," said the doctor with a smile; "only, I do not like to give orders and have them dishonoured." Off he went.
"Felicia," said Mr.Randolph, "I believe he is right." "I am sure he knows nothing about it," said the lady.
"Do you?
Daisy is very delicate." "She will never die of want of resolution." "Felicia, I mean to enquire into Daisy's wishes and purposes about this matter; and if I find them unobjectionable, I shall give her leave to go on with it." "You do not know what you are about, Mr.Randolph." "I shall find out, then," said the gentleman.

"I would rather she would be a _religieuse_ than a shadow.".
