"Oh," exclaimed Daisy penitently, "I forgot. But can't I drive you back?"
"I couldn't trouble you to do that. You're not going back so soon?"
"But of course I can, Mr. Norburn; it's so far to walk."
"I don't mind the walk."
"Are you really quite sure? It is a beautiful morning to be out, isn't it?"
Norburn took his leave, thinking, no doubt, of his official duties and nothing else, and Daisy touched her pony.
"I must go on," she said.
"So must I," said Dick, "mustn't keep my horse standing any longer."
"Why not? He can't catch cold to-day."
