He picked out a two shilling piece and a sixpence. "Here you are, Daisy. You can get a little something for half-a-crown. When's the child's birthday?" "Tomorrow," said Daisy, "I met her little sister yesterday and asked her." "Good," said Fatty. "Couldn't be better! Now you go and buy something, you and Bets, and put a message on it, and deliver it to Mrs. Thomas, Zoe's sister. And mind you get into conversation with her and find out exactly when Zoe went there on Friday night, and what time she left." "How shall we get her talking, though?" said Daisy, beginning to feel nervous. Fatty looked sternly at poor Daisy. "Now I really can't plan every one's conversation! It's up to you to get this done, Daisy. Use your commonsense. Ask what the mother herself is giving the child—something like that—and I bet she'll take you in to see the present she's prepared." "Oh yes—that's a good idea," said Daisy, cheering up. "Come on, Bets—we'll go and do our bit of shopping." "I'm going to see Pippin for a few minutes, if I can," said Fatty.
