Chapter XI
A VICTORY "Daisy, - you are very happy!" my father said one day when I was sitting with him. We were looking out upon the lake, which our windows commanded; but I found papa's look had come back from the window to me. "You are very happy!" he said. "Yes, papa, - pretty happy." "Pretty happy?" said he, putting his hand under my chin and turning my face again round to him, and then kissing me.
