... The lads pretty sister, Daisy, confidently approaches, and
Winterbourne exclaims that American girls are wonderful. Daisy is
dressed in white muslin with lots of ribbons, is carrying a parasol,
and is bareheaded. ...
Winterbourne, knowing he is being forward to speak to a young,
unmarried lady, tries to enter into conversation with Daisy; but she
is perplexingly vague and rather ignores him to try and handle her
brother. ... Daisy is soon relaxed,
almost tranquil. ... All three are formally introduced, and the reader
learns that Daisy and her brother Randolph are traveling alone with
their mother. ... In contrast, Daisy appears happy with
everything; she is not disappointed with Europe only anxious about
the lack of "society. ... Winterbourne is
slightly shocked and highly amused with Daisy. ...
Winterbourne and Daisy discuss going across the lake to the castle,
Chateau de Chillon. ... Winterbourne realizes
that Daisy is hinting to him; he responds that he would like to go
with her to the castle. His boldness in making such a statement is
lost on Daisy, who merely comments that if he means it, Randolph
can stay with her mother and Eugenio, the courier. Winterbourne
knows it would be improper to go with Daisy alone to the castle,
but he likes the idea and thinks he is lucky to have the chance. The handsome courier, Eugenio, approaches the table, looks
Winterbourne over, and coolly announces lunch to Daisy. When
Daisy tells Eugenio of the plan to visit the castle, he replies in an
insolent tone. ... Daisy
then answers vaguely, turns away, and regally walks to the hotel
beside Eugenio. ... When
Winterbourne discusses Daisy, he learns that his aunt considers the
Millers and their courier to be vulgar. Winterbourne argues that
Daisy is pretty and innocent, not knowing the ways of society. ... " When Winterbourne admits that he has
met Daisy, his aunt is appalled. She is shocked further to learn that
her nephew is taking Daisy to the castle alone after knowing her for
a mere half hour. ... Costello ends the
conversation by claiming that her own granddaughters would never
behave as Daisy does. ... Daisy is glad to see Winterbourne, and they
begin talking about Daisys nervous, sleepless mother, who is off
chasing Randolph because he doesnt like to go to bed. ... Daisy want to meet
her, to be accepted by her.
