"I am very sorry," said Daisy humbly, "but it was Anne who disturbed me, and that letter. I was afraid."
"Then you admit that we have behaved well?"
"You are my best friends."
"Thank you. And now may I ask what you want?"
"I came to tell you that I am going to church. I thought you were engaged."
"So I was; but my visitor is gone."
"I know; he went out by that window. I saw him going down the avenue. Who is he?"
"A friend of mine. That is all you need to know. Did you think it was some one who had to do with the anonymous letter?"
"No, no!" Daisy seemed to be thoroughly ashamed of herself. "But you must admit that the letter was strange."
"So strange that you had better say nothing about it. Don't mention it to Giles."
