You'll be very happy when it's written, Primrose, and I'm doing it for you and Jasmine, and because I won't be a selfish little girl." Primrose stooped down and kissed Daisy. Now sit down and write away, you have a nice quiet hour before Jasmine comes in to tea." "So I have," answered Daisy; "thank you, Primrose. Please don't say anything to me when I'm writing." Then Daisy in her corner blotted her fingers, and brought a deep flush to her little pale face, and ruined several sheets of note-paper, all of which she carefully tore up to the smallest fragments. At last an epistle, over which she sighed and trembled, and even dropped tears, was finished. |
