It's really rather a striking story, Daisy.

There's a girl in it who does such wonderfully self-denying things--she never thinks of herself for a moment--she is very poor, and yet she earns money in all sorts of delightful ways, and supports her family--she has got two sisters--they are not half as clever as she is at earning money.

The story begins by the sisters rather despising Juliet, but in the end they find out how much she is worth.

The leading idea in the story is the inculcation of unselfishness--oh dear! oh dear! I hope I shall prove myself a genius in having developed this character.

If so, I shall be able to pay Poppy back." "There is something so beautiful in unselfishness," said Daisy, in a rather prim, moralizing little tone.
