She started a little too, as Daisy's hand set down her cup, and half rose from her chair.
"Blessings on ye, for a dear little lady! It's a wonder to see the likes of you.

The saints above bless the hand and the fut that wasn't above doing that same! and may ye always have plenty to wait on ye, and the angels of heaven above all!" "Sit down, Mrs.Sullivan," said Daisy.

"Do you like coffee ?" "Do I like it! It's better to me nor anything else in the worruld, when it wouldn't be a sup o' summat now and thin, if I'd have the rheumatiz." "A sup of what ?" "Medicine, dear, medicine that I take whin the doctor says it's good for me.

May you niver know the want of it, nor of anything in the wide worruld! and niver know what it is to be poor!" Daisy managed to get the old woman to eat, supplying her with various things, every one of which was accepted with--"Thank you, Miss," and "Blessings on ye!" and turning away from her at last, saw her handmaids approaching from the house.

The girls, however disposed to stand upon their dignity, could not refuse to do what their little mistress was doing; and a lively time of it they and Daisy had for the next hour, with all the help Sam and Mrs.Stilton could give them.
