The Palace Beautiful

CHAPTER XXVI
11/11

"We have just got to buy a little furniture, and I'm going to open my trunk now, and get a letter out which I know has money in it.

Yes, we'll very soon go away from here, darling, and Miss Egerton has thought of this delightful plan entirely to please you.

She says you will be much, much better when you are out of this house.

Oh, Daisy! how bright your eyes look, and how pleased you seem." "Yes," said Daisy, "I am delighted; we need never walk down this street again, need we, Primrose?
and we need never to have anything to say to the Doves, most particularly to Mr.Dove; not but that he's very kind, and he's--oh, yes! he's my friend; yes, of course he told me he was my friend, but we needn't ever see him again, ever, _ever_ again, Primrose, darling ?" "Oh, Daisy! what a funny child you are! If Mr.Dove is your friend, why should you not wish to see him?
He is not my friend, however; indeed, I may say frankly that I don't like him at all.

Now drink up your beef-tea, darling.".
