"What are you doing?" Daisy Zane was listening to Hill Dawson and Director Nash talk when Charles Amos came over and tugged at her clothes.
"Uncle Clark said he'd take me out to play," replied Charles Amos.
Daisy Zane glanced at Kevin Clark standing at the entrance of the side hall, then looked down at Charles Amos: "Where to?"
Charles Amos pursed his lips and looked at Kevin Clark.
Kevin Clark laughed and said, "Can it be a secret?"
Daisy Zane turned to him again, asking, "When will you be back?"
"After dinner, perhaps."
"You agreed to it?" Daisy Zane flicked the little braid on Charles's head.
Charles nodded, affirming, "Yeah."
Daisy Zane looked at Charles, her eyebrows raised slightly. It was the first time Charles had willingly gone out to play with someone other than her and Wilton Edwards.
And they were going to be out for a while.
He wouldn't even go with James Collins usually.
"Alright, go," Daisy Zane said, "Don't cause trouble for your Uncle Clark."
