Perhaps they'll give me some bread and milk for kitty for a penny, and oh, perhaps they will know if I am near the right railway station for Rosebury." Summoning up all her courage, for Daisy was naturally a timid child, she ventured into the shop, and having asked for some bread and milk for her cat, which was given with a little stare of amusement by a good-natured looking woman, she put her important question in a very faltering voice.
"Rosebury, my little dear ?" said the shopwoman; "no, I never heard of the place.

Is it anywhere near London, love ?" "No," said Daisy; "it's miles and miles away from London.

I know the county it's in--it's in Devonshire and a third single costs fifteen shillings, and I have got fifteen shillings in my glove.

Now, perhaps, you'll know where it is." "In Devonshire ?" repeated the woman.

"And a third single costs fifteen shillings?
Surely, miss, you are not going all that long way by yourself ?" "Yes," said Daisy, in a dignified little tone.
