"I carried the woman work once, mamma. I had papa's leave to go."
"Did you ask mine?"
"No, mamma. It was papa who had forbidden me to go into any house without leave; so I asked him to let me tell her about the work."
"What was this child here for, to-day?"
"Mamma she is a poor child, and could not go to school; and
I was trying to teach her something."
"What were you trying to teach her?"
"To read, mamma and to do right."
"Have you ever done this before."
"Yes, mamma a few times."
"Can it be that you have a taste for low society, Daisy?"
