Excerpt from Daisy

I knew the lad by reputation, and next morning when he sauntered into the dining room, eyed him carefully. Poor boy, his eye was heavy, and his step languid. In his foolish endeavours to see life, he was fast losing the purity of heart and mind, with which he had quitted his far-away home.

He sat opposite me, and I could see that he was making a mere pretence of taking his breakfast.
