"And Ella Stanfield."
"I like Ella Stanfield" said Daisy, sedately.
"And there are the Fishes."
"I don't like Mrs. Fish's children very well; when Alexander and Ransom get together, they make a great deal of disturbance!"

"Yes " said Nora, with open eyes; "I know."
"Do you know what it means? the talents, I mean; of course I know what the rest means; but do you know what the talents are? Is it just money? because then you and I have very little indeed; and all the servants had something."
"Why, Daisy, what made you think of that just now? we were talking about the party."
"I have been thinking of it all the while," said Daisy. "I was reading it do you know what it means, Nora?"
