"Oh, but, I mean when they are up. And I dare say they wear beautiful nightgowns Daisy, don't you think they do? I dare say they have splendid lace and ribbands; and you call make a white dress very handsome, if you put plenty of lace and ribbands."
"Oh, it's gone!" exclaimed Jane and Ella. The curtain had fallen. The company clapped their hands and cheered.
"What's that for?" said Nora.
"That means that they like it, I suppose," said Daisy.
"You will have to go now, Nora, I know. Little Red Riding-Hood comes next. Come we'll all go."
"Horrid Little Red Riding-Hood!" said Nora. "I hate that picture!"
"Why do you hate it?"
"Because! It is nothing but a red hood."
Mrs. Sandford's bell sounded.
"Oh, Daisy!" said Nora, as they went, "won't you get them to leave Esther to the last? They will do whatever you ask them. Do!"
