might have sat down to answer Miss Egerton's letter there and then but

"Dear Primrose, I forgot it in all the other great trouble, but I do
want to send fifteen shillings as soon as possible to dear good Poppy.
She lent me fifteen shillings to buy a single third to come to
Rosebury, and I forgot all about it. Please, Primrose, try and spare
me fifteen shillings to send to Poppy."
"So you too are in debt, Daisy," said Primrose. "Oh, dear, what shall
I do? Daisy, dear, forgive me, I ought not to mind anything now you
are growing better, but my heart is heavy, and I feel almost crushed.
Yes, Daisy, dear Poppy must have her money. I won't write to Miss
Egerton until to-morrow."
Here Primrose wiped some tears from her sweet brown eyes, but she took
good care not to allow Daisy to see that she was crying.

arrived. Daisy greeted her Prince with rapture, but refused to hear
any particulars of Dove's trial.
"I want to forget him," she said.
