Chapter IX
"Will I take him to the stable, Miss Daisy?" inquired the boy, as Daisy got out at the back door. "No. Just wait a little for me, Lewis." Up stairs went Daisy; took off her boots and got rid of the soil they had brought home; that was the first thing. Then, in spotless order again, she went back to Lewis and inquired where Logan was at work. Thither she drove the pony chaise.
