"Did you really?
You must love us very much." "I believe I do.

Now, Jasmine, I will not ask you for your address.

I will do nothing more to really help you until we get Primrose's letter, but I want you all the same to spend this whole long day with me." Jasmine smiled, and her cheeks flushed.
"It would be very luxurious," she said, "and such a change from our attics, although Daisy does call them a Palace Beautiful.

Will you take me for a drive, if I stay, Mrs.Ellsworthy, and will you let me imagine myself quite a rich little girl all day long?
You must not give me any presents, you know, for Primrose would not like that; but I can imagine I have got all kinds of things, and I wonder, oh! I wonder, if we might call to see Poppy this afternoon ?" "We will take her too for a drive in the Park," said Mrs.Ellsworthy.
"I have heard a great deal of that Poppy of yours, and I think she is quite a splendid kind of girl." Thus a very delightful programme was unexpectedly realized by two little hard-working London girls, for Mrs.Ellsworthy gave herself up to be enchanting, and took Poppy away from her work of drudgery, and from the astonished ladies of the boarding-house.
Poppy, in her dazzlingly brilliant hat, and with her cheeks quite flaming with excitement, stepped into the carriage, and drove away, facing Mrs.Ellsworthy and Jasmine, to the great scandal of the footman, who was obliged, sorely against his will, to assist her to her place.
Mrs.Ellsworthy took the girls all round the Park, and then to a place of amusement, and finally she presented Poppy with a very neat brown dress and jacket, and hat to match, saying, as she did so, that really Jasmine, even though she forbade her to offer her any presents, could not lay a like embargo with regard to her friends.
"It's of all the dazzlings, the most blindingly beautiful," was Poppy's oft-reiterated comment.

"Oh! won't I have something to tell them ladies about bye-and-bye! Oh, my! Miss Jasmine, what a neat hat, miss! I don't mind denuding this one now, for I has got a 'at from a West End shop what beats anything that Miss Slowcum wears for gentility." Finally, Jasmine and Poppy both returned to their respective homes, tired, but wonderfully happy little girls.
Mrs.Ellsworthy also laid her head that night on her pillow with a wonderful sense of satisfaction.
"Even if they do not come to me--although they must come," she soliloquized, "I am glad--I shall all my life be glad that I gave Jasmine a happy day.".
