"Yes. And isn't it a relief to find a man like that after all the shams and hypocrisies of society? One is never in doubt about what Mr. Bush is thinking, or what he means. One knows it."
"I should think so."
"Yes; I knew you would agree with me. Oh, how delightful it is to have one friend who feels in all things as one does oneself!"
"Daisy, don't! You forget—you mustn't kiss me."
"Oh, heavens! Could anybody have seen?"
She glanced apprehensively round.
"No; it is all right. But I knew you would. A large, frank nature like that seems to go straight to all that is good and right in one. Oh, do let us take advantage of our opportunity this week! Do—do let us make the most of it."
"Do you mean that Mr. Bush is our opportunity?"
"Yes—yes."
"Well, dear, I don't mind, I'm sure. But the most of Mr. Bush is a great deal. I think he is the largest human being I have ever seen. Now I'm going to wander about the garden and see what the Bun Emperor's plants are like."
