"But how did the company behave?" said Mr. McFarlane.
"I saw no behaviour that was not proper," Daisy answered gravely. She thought as much could not be said of the present company, seeing that servants were present.
"What have you there, Daisy?" said her mother.
"It is a birthday present, mamma. It is an Egyptian spoon."
"An Egyptian spoon! Where did you get it?"
"Mr. Dinwiddie—I mean, Nora gave it to me."
"What about Mr. Dinwiddie?"
"Nothing, mamma."
"Then why did you speak his name?"
"I don't know. He brought Nora to see me just now."
