"No, sir. At least, that was not what I was thinking of."
"When then?" said he. "Will one of these do?"
"They would do," I said slowly. "But, Dr. Sandford, I should like to see something else—something that would do for somebody that was poorer than I."
"Poorer?" said the doctor, looking funny. "What is the matter, Daisy? Have you suddenly become bankrupt? You need not be afraid, for the bank is in my pocket; and I know it will stand all your demands upon it."
"No, but—I would indeed, if you please, Dr. Sandford. These things cost too much for what I want now."
"Do you like them?"
"I like them very well."
"Then take whichever you like best. That is my advice to you, Daisy. The bank will bear it."
"I think I must not. Please, Dr. Sandford, I should like to see something that would not cost so much. Do they all cost as much as these?"
