`` It 's evident Daisy is n't out yet , '' said Miss Clara to Belle with a nod . `` Quite a pastoral state of innocence all round , '' returned Miss Belle with a shrug . `` I 'm going out to get some little matters for my girls . Can I do anything for you , young ladies ? '' asked Mrs. Moffat , lumbering in like an elephant in silk and lace . `` No , thank you , ma'am , '' replied Sallie . `` I 've got my new pink silk for Thursday and do n't want a thing . '' `` Nor I. . . '' began Meg , but stopped because it occurred to her that she did want several things and could not have them . `` What shall you wear ? '' asked Sallie . `` My old white one again , if I can mend it fit to be seen , it got sadly torn last night , '' said Meg , trying to speak quite easily , but feeling very uncomfortable . `` Why do n't you send home for another ? '' said Sallie , who was not an observing young lady . `` I have n't got any other . '' It cost Meg an effort to say that , but Sallie did not see it and exclaimed in amiable surprise , `` Only that ? How funny ... '' She did not finish her speech , for Belle shook her head at her and broke in , saying kindly ... `` Not at all . Where is the use of having a lot of dresses when she is n't out yet ? There 's no need of sending home , Daisy , even if you had a dozen , for I 've got a sweet blue silk laid away , which I 've outgrown , and you shall wear it to please me , wo n't you , dear ? ''
`` You are very kind , but I do n't mind my old dress if you do n't , it does well enough for a little girl like me , '' said XXXXX .
