"If you will, I will," said the Captain.
Mr. Randolph moved away.
The next day, after luncheon, Daisy followed her father when he left the table. She followed till they were got quite away from other ears.
"Papa, I would like to go to Mrs. Harbonner's again. You said
I must not go without leave."
"Who is Mrs. Harbonner?"
"Papa, it is the place where I took the ham, do you remember? Joanna has enquired about her, and found that she is respectable."
"What do you want to go there again for, Daisy?"
"Joanna has found some work for her, papa. She would not have the ham unless she could work to pay for it. I want to see her to tell her about it."
Mr. Randolph had it on his tongue to say that somebody else might do that; but looking down at Daisy, the sight of the pale face and hollow eyes stopped him. He sat down, and drew Daisy up to his side.
"I will let you go."
