The Chambers are all so splendid at it, it needs a good player to have any chance against them." "But Miss Latimer's very hard to satisfy at cricket," said Winnie. "So she is. She certainly doesn't allow any slack practice." "She pegged my right leg down once to prevent my moving it, and she's most severe on a crooked bat," said Avis.

He was a slow sailer on a wind of happiness, but he took a cross cut for the rendezvous, and pegged away as if he were scoring furiously at cribbage. When the shadow of the church-porch swallowed them up, victorious Gruff and Glum likewise presented himself to be swallowed up.

"Lizette has taken him in," answered Inza. "He's asleep now. Oh, this was a surprise, Frank! I'm still angry at you, and yet I'm glad you didn't tell me." "And that's like a woman, too," smiled Merry. "Come, Carson, I'll show you your room. You look pegged out, but a wash-up and something to eat will brace you. Later on we'll have a royal chat over old times.

Another, perhaps equally successful, and still on-going union is the CFA franc Zone. It is pegged to the French franc. Foreign reserves must always equal 20% of short term deposits in commercial banks. All this made the CFA an attractive option in the colonies even after they attained independence.
