she cried , popping out her head again with her cap half off , and her curly hair blowing in the wind . `` Why , you see , they frolic all night , and go to sleep at dawn ; so we must get up very early , if we want to catch the elves awake . They are such delicate , fly-away little things , and we are so big and clumsy , we shall have to look carefully , and perhaps hunt a long time before we find even one , '' replied Aunt Wee , very gravely . `` Mamma says I 'm quick at finding things ; and you know all about fairies , so I guess we 'll catch one . Ca n't we begin now ? It 's very early , and this music has waked me up ; so I do n't want to sleep any more . Will you begin to hunt now ? '' `` But you do n't like to get up early , or to walk in the fields ; and , if we mean to catch a fairy , we must be up and out by sunrise every fair morning till we get one . Can you do this , lazy Daisy ? '' And Aunt Wee smiled to herself as if something pleased her very much . `` Oh ! I will , truly , get up , and not fret a bit , if you 'll only help me look . Please come now to dress me , and see if you can find what makes the music . '' Daisy was very much in earnest , and in such a hurry to be off that she could hardly stand still to have her hair brushed , and thought there were a great many unnecessary buttons and strings on her clothes that day . Usually she lay late , got up slowly and fretted at every thing as little girls are apt to do when they have had too much sleep . She was n't a rosy , stout Daisy ; but had been ill , and had fallen into a way of thinking she could n't do anything but lie about , reading fairy-tales , and being petted by every one . Mamma and papa had tried all sorts of things to amuse and do her good ; for she was their only little daughter , and they loved her very dearly . But nothing pleased her long ; and she lounged about , pale and fretful , till Aunt Laura came . Daisy called her `` Wee '' when she was a baby , and could n't talk plainly ; and she still used the name because it suited the cheery little aunt so well . `` I do n't see anything , and the music has stopped .
I think some elf just came to wake you up , and then flew away ; so we wo n't waste any more time in looking here , '' said Wee , as she finished dressing XXXXX , who flew about like a Will-o ' - the-wisp all the while .
