"No, papa—willingly."
"In exchange for this doll?"
"O no, papa—not in exchange for anything. I did not want any exchange."
"If I remember, Daisy," said Mr. Randolph, "your aunt Gary desired to have that spoon the very day it was given to you; and I thought you did not wish she should have it?"
"No, papa—so I didn't."
"Your mind changed afterward?"
"I do not think my mind changed," said Daisy slowly—"but I was willing she should have it."
"Daisy, this whole affair is a mystery to me yet. In this case, why was it not kind in your aunt to bestow this French doll upon you? it seems to me very kind."
"Yes papa—you do not understand."
"Make me understand. Daisy, I command you to tell me all that you have not told me. You need not think of anything now, except my command."
