At length the doctor was ready and came to the foot, attended by Juanita; and Mr.Randolph took one of Daisy's hands in his own.

With the other the child covered her eyes, and so lay, perfectly still, while the doctor set the ankle bone which had been broken.

As the foot also itself had been very much hurt, the handling of necessity gave a great deal of pain, more than the mere setting of the broken bone would have caused.

Mr.Randolph could feel every now and then the convulsive closing of Daisy's hand upon his; other than that she gave no sign of what she was suffering.

One sign of what another person was feeling, was given as Dr.Sandford bound up the foot and finished his work.
