"Mamma, please don't ask me!"
"I have asked you. Come Daisy don't be silly."
"Mamma," whispered Daisy, trembling, "I will sing it any other night but to night!"
"To-night? what's to-night?"
"To-night is Sunday."
"And is that the reason?"
Daisy stood silent, very much agitated.
"I'll have no nonsense of the kind, Daisy. Sing immediately!"
But Daisy stood still.
"Do you refuse me?"
"Mamma " said Daisy, pleadingly.
