Randolph's prohibition; but I will go round
— where does this girl live, and who is she?"
"Her name is Hephzibah Harbonner; she lives in the village, on
the road where the Episcopal church is — you know; — a little
way further on. I guess it's a quarter of a mile."
"South, eh? Well, I will go round by her house, and tell the
girl that I cannot let you do any such kindnesses just now,
and that, till I give her leave, she must not come to see you.
How will that do, Daisy."
"Thank you, Dr. Sandford!"
He saw it was very earnestly spoken, and that Daisy's brow
looked clearer.
"And instead of that amusement, you must study wonderful
things to-morrow. Will you?"
"Oh, yes, Dr. Sandford! But we have not finished about the sun
yet."
"No. Well — to-morrow, then, Daisy."
"Thank you, sir. Dr. Sandford, mamma wanted me to ask you a
question before you go."
"Ask it."
"How soon I can be moved home?''
"Are you in a great hurry?"
"No, sir, but I think mamma is."
"You call bear to wait a little longer, and study wonderful
things from your window?"
"Oh, yes, sir! I think I can do it better here than at home,
because my bed is so close to the window, I can look right
out.
