be different if papa was at home."
"I will never interfere with you any more, Daisy," said the
doctor, — "any further than by a little very judicious
interference; and you shall find in me the best helper I can
be to all your plans. You may use me — you have conquered me,"
— said he, smiling, and laying himself back on his cushions
again.
I was very glad it had ended so, for I could hardly have
withstood Dr. Sandford if he had taken a different view of the
matter. And his help, I knew, might be very good in getting
things sent to Magnolia.
CHAPTER X.
SCHOOL.
I had another time the next day between Mrs Sandford and the
mantua-maker. The mantua-maker came to take orders about
making my school dress.
"How will you have it trimmed?" she asked. "This sort of stuff
will make no sort of an appearance unless it is well trimmed.
It wants that. You might have a border of dark green leaves —
dark green, like the colour of this stripe — going round the
skirt; that would have a good effect; the leaves set in and
edged with a very small red cord, or green if you like it
better.
