he remembered faces very well, and as she was still sorry for poor Flora, she ran up to him, and said hastily:
"Please, sir, did you happen to find a doll in your train some six weeks ago? My little lady's doll, that was!"
The guard stood still with a puzzled face for a moment, then suddenly a smile lit up his face, and he answered quite briskly:
"Yes, sure enough!" exclaimed Nurse.
Flora had ran up to her nurse at this moment.
"Dollie's found," said Nurse, quickly turning round to her.
"Did you find her, please, guard?" inquired Flora rather shyly.
"Yes, missy; and if I'd known where you lived I'd have fetched her back to you. As it is, my Poll's had a lot of fun out of her; but you shall have her back--you shall have her back."
As Flora's mother just then came out of the ticket-office and joined the group, she heard the whole history. The end of it was that she gave the guard sixpence to send Lady Daisy back by parcel post, as he declared he wouldn't let his Polly keep her a day longer, no, "not if the lady wished it ever so." I think he had seen Flora's sorrowful face turn quite joyful when he had mentioned Lady Daisy.
And so it was settled; and when poor little Poll in the hospital with the broken leg one day received a lovely new doll by the post, she said wonderingly to her father:
"I can't think, Father, why that little lady liked that battered old thing instead of keeping this here lovely new one!"
But you and I know why. We all like our old favourites best, don't we? And so Lady Daisy came back after all safe and sound to her first home at the Grange, and you may be sure Flora never lost sight of her again.
