Excerpt: ...He Pg 129 owned to himself that he looked at her with a kind of shock. This Daisy Wilson's Daughter? This pale, dark, thin woman the child of that little, bright, curly-locked, golden-headed sister, whose face was as the sun, whose gay, rounded figure he had seen flitting before his eyes during all the weary years of his exile?

I have pictured her for the last six and twenty years just as I saw her last the bonniest bit of a thing the sun ever shone on." "You knew my mother then?" said Charlotte. "Knew her, lass, knew her! good heavens, what next? Did Daisy never speak to you about me? I don't believe it. Before I left it was 'Sandy, Sandy, ' from morning to night. It was not in her to forget. Tell me, lass, did you never hear of your mother's big brother, Sandy Wilson who went to Australia?" Charlotte's eyes began to dilate.
