`` Why not ? '' `` They say girls ca n't play football . '' `` They can , for I 've done it ! '' and Mrs. Bhaer laughed at the remembrance of certain youthful frolics . `` I know I can play ; Demi and I used to , and have nice times , but he wo n't let me now because the other boys laugh at him , '' and Daisy looked deeply grieved at her brother 's hardness of heart . `` On the whole , I think he is right , deary . It 's all very well when you two are alone , but it is too rough a game for you with a dozen boys ; so I 'd find some nice little play for myself . '' `` I 'm tired of playing alone ! '' and Daisy 's tone was very mournful . `` I 'll play with you by and by , but just now I must fly about and get things ready for a trip into town . You shall go with me and see mamma , and if you like you can stay with her . '' `` I should like to go and see her and Baby Josy , but I 'd rather come back , please . Demi would miss me , and I love to be here , Aunty . '' `` You ca n't get on without your Demi , can you ? '' and Aunt Jo looked as if she quite understood the love of the little girl for her only brother . '' ` Course I ca n't ; we 're twins , and so we love each other more than other people , '' answered Daisy , with a brightening face , for she considered being a twin one of the highest honors she could ever receive . `` Now , what will you do with your little self while I fly around ? '' asked Mrs. Bhaer , who was whisking piles of linen into a wardrobe with great rapidity . `` I do n't know , I 'm tired of dolls and things ; I wish you 'd make up a new play for me , Aunty Jo , '' said Daisy , swinging listlessly on the door . `` I shall have to think of a brand new one , and it will take me some time ; so suppose you go down and see what Asia has got for your lunch , '' suggested Mrs. Bhaer , thinking that would be a good way in which to dispose of the little hindrance for a time .
`` Yes , I think I 'd like that , if she is n't cross , '' and XXXXX slowly departed to the kitchen , where Asia , the black cook , reigned undisturbed .
