"I am," said Daisy. "Jesus is King to-day. To be sure, he is King
always; but to-day _everything_ is his."
"Miss Daisy, you won't be dressed."
Daisy drew her head in from the window and sat down to submit it to
June's brush; but she went on talking.
"What part of the Bible do you like best to read, June?"
"Miss Daisy, will you wear your white muslin, to-day--or the one with
blue spots?"
"White. But tell me, June--which part of the Bible do you like best?"
"I like where it tells about all they had to go through"--June answered,
rather unwillingly.
"They?--who?"
"The people, Miss Daisy--Christians, I s'pose."
"What did they have to go through?"
"Things, ma'am," said June very confusedly. "Miss Daisy, please don't
turn your head round."
"But what things? and what for? Where is it, June?"
"I can't tell--I can find it for you, Miss Daisy. But you won't be
ready."
June however had to risk that and find the chapter; and then Daisy read
perseveringly all through the rest of her dressing, till it was
finished. All the while June was fastening her frock, and tying her
sash, and lacing her boots, Daisy stood or sat with the Bible in her
hands and her eyes on the eleventh of Hebrews.
