Daisy was always nervous around strangers. Her tongue would always get tied and she’d forget what she wanted to say. It drove Mrs. Patmore wild. Then again, Richard wasn’t really a stranger, was he? They had technically met before, however briefly, and Thomas trusted him. Daisy knew Thomas’s trust didn’t come easily and so she in turn trusted who he did (though she was often warned against it).
“I'm glad you decided to come with us,” she said after awhile, breaking the silence between them. Originally the picnic had been just her and Thomas, but she knew Richard didn’t get time off often, and Thomas had jumped at the chance to invite him out.
