"What then? Daisy," said Mr. Randolph, bringing her head round to face him, "tell me what I want to know without any more questions."
"He took the chaise, papa, that was all, so I went this morning."
"Ransom knew you wanted it?"
"Yes, sir."
"Then, Daisy, tell me further, why you did not give me this information when I asked about your drive this morning at breakfast?"
"Papa, I thought Ransom would not like to have it told."
"Were you afraid he would revenge himself in any way if you did?"
"Oh, no, papa! not at all."
"Then what moved you to silence?"
"Why, papa, I did not want to trouble Ransom. I was afraid you would be displeased with him perhaps, if I told."
