CHAPTER LI.
A LETTER.
A morning or two after this, when Daisy had greatly advanced towards convalescence, and was sitting up in Hannah's tiny little sitting-room to partake of a very dainty little breakfast, Primrose received a long letter from Miss Egerton.

This was what it contained:-- "MY DEAR PRIMROSE, "You of course know that that wicked man Dove has received the sentence which he so richly deserves.

Alas, we cannot get back all the stolen money, but we must manage without it, dear, and you are never even to talk of repaying me for the furnishing of dear little Daisy's Palace Beautiful.

It has been a joy to me to have you, dear, and I hope you will be able to bring Daisy back with you, and to live here in peace and comfort next winter.

Dear Primrose, it is more and more evident to me that young girls should not venture to come to London alone.
