He wanted me to, and I just had it on the tip of my tongue, for I was dreadfully frightened, but he heard a noise, and he went away.

I'm so glad I didn't promise, because the Prince says I should go and live in the Palace Beautiful.

He thinks I'm a selfish little girl.

Oh dear! how terrified I shall be, but I won't be a selfish little girl, and keep Primrose and Jasmine away from the Palace, and break the kind lady's heart.

I must try and write a very private little note to Mr.Dove, and tell him that though I am going away I'll always and always keep my word about the sweeties, and I'll always be his truest of friends, although I do fear him more than anything in the world." Here Primrose came in, and poor little Daisy roused herself, and tried to talk cheerfully.
"Primrose," she said, "do you mind my writing a letter which nobody is to see ?" Primrose laughed.
"You funny pet!" she said; "if no one is to see the letter why do you trouble to write it ?" "I only mean, Primrose," continued Daisy, "that you are not to see it, nor Jasmine, nor Miss Egerton, nor Mr.Noel.It is to--to somebody; but you are not to be curious, Primrose, nor to ask any questions.
It's a most terribly important letter, and when it's written I'm going to put it in the post myself.
