"Nobody? Why, Ransom, I thought everybody had them."
"I didn't, nor Preston, nor Alexander not a berry; and Nora and Ella Stanfield didn't. You are the favourite."
"Oh, Nora," said Daisy, "didn't you have any grapes? I'm sorry!"
"I had peaches," said Nora. "I like peaches a great deal the best. Daisy, what shall we do now?"
"Suppose we sit down, and have a talk."
"A talk?" said Nora. "Suppose we have a game of hide and seek?
It's such a good place."
"Or forfeits?" said Ella. "It is too hot to play hide and seek."
"I don't think it is hot," said Nora. "The sun don't shine now."
"Daisy, don't you want to go out with me in the boat?" said Preston, coming up. "We'll get in the shade, and see if you can catch a pickerel as well as you did a trout."
"Oh, I should like that!" said Daisy, eagerly. She saw the kindness of Preston's meaning. He wanted to make her forget her vexations.
