"What does this mean, Daisy? It seems very plain; but what do I want with it?"
"Only, papa, that is what makes me think it is right."
"What is right?"
"To do this, papa."
"Well but, are you in want of somebody to come and make you happy?"
"O no, papa—but if I were in her place, then I should be."
"Do you suppose this commands us to do in every case what we would like ourselves in the circumstances?"
"Papa—I suppose so—if it wouldn't be something wrong."
"At that rate, I should have to let you go with your rose-bush," said
Mr. Randolph.
"O papa!" said Daisy, "do you think, if you asked her, mamma would perhaps say I might?"
