allow you more than three days at a time?" asked Daisy ironically.
"Doesn't she give you a vacation in summer? There's no one so hard
worked but they can get leave to go off somewhere at this season.
I suppose, if you stay another day, she'll come after you in the boat.
Do wait over till Friday, and I will go down to the landing to see
her arrive!" Winterbourne began to think he had been wrong to feel
disappointed in the temper in which the young lady had embarked.
