"Why Daisy, what made you think of that just now? we were talking about the party."
"I have been thinking of it all the while," said Daisy. "I was reading it—do you know what it means, Nora?"
"But we were talking about the party!" said Nora.
"Yes, but I want to understand this; and then we will go on about the party. If you know what it means."
"I have heard Duke explain it," said Nora, unwillingly coming to the graver subject.
"Well, what does he say it is? the talents, you know."
"Duke says it is everything anybody has. Not money, everything—Now don't you think we can make up a nice party?"
"Everything, Nora? Just wait a little—I want to know about this. What do you mean by 'everything'?"
"Are you studying for Sunday-school, Daisy? that isn't the lesson."
"No," said Daisy sorrowfully; "if I was, I could ask Mr. Dinwiddie. That's why I want you to help me, Nora; so think and tell me what he said."
