Peg, unable to argue or plead, or strive against what her heart yearned for the most, broke down and sobbed as she murmured: "I love you, too, Mister Jerry." In a moment she was in his arms. It was the first time anyone had touched her tenderly besides her father. All her sturdy, boyish ruggedness shrank from any display of affection. Just for a moment it did now. Then she slowly yielded herself.
Then the most unexpected of all things happened. Ann smiled. "Katie, I'd like to have seen you in that town!" "I'm afraid," said Katie, "that I would have invented a new kind of peg." The smile seemed to have done Ann good. She sat down, grew more natural. "When I try to tell about my life in that town I suppose it sounds as though I were making a terrible fuss about things.
Your mutiny once ended, and a little repented of, he is ready to be your gracious Prince again: Fair-play and the social wine-cup, or inexorable war and Lazy Peg, it is at your discretion which. Brandenburg submitted; hardly ever rebelled more.
The lawyer tried again to take the dog from her: "Come, Miss O'Connell, you really must be reasonable." "I don't care about being reasonable," replied Peg.
Why, if it was me, do you s'pose I'd leave another man no matter how old and safe he was to tell such a story as that his own way and hog all the credit for himself? That Las Uvas push is a four-flush he needn't stir a peg for them. No, sir! I'd have stayed right there till you got ready to come and every time I'd narrate that tale about the scrap it would get scarier and scarier."
"His name isn't Scammel at all his name is Nicholas Forrester, and so...." Peg shrugged her shoulders. "So it may be, for all I know, but he's Scammel, and he owns Heeler's. Ask him, if you don't believe me. He's the man who brought that crowd of women round the factory I told you about stuck-up crew! He's the man who cut down our overtime money. Ask any of the girls.
Since the previous night the real womanly note awakened in Ethel. Her heart went out to Peg. Peg looked up wonderingly from the chair. "Me cab's at the door!" she said, warningly to Jerry. "I am sorry to insist, but you must give me a few, moments," said the Chief Executor. "MUST?" cried Peg. "It is urgent," replied Jerry quietly.
Unless we hit a snag, or Peg Grant and his guides break up our game, a few days ought to see us heading back to Circle Ranch with a story calculated to make the boys sit up and take notice; or else " "Just pull up right there, Frank," interrupted his chum, with a laugh. "There's nothing going to happen to knock us out.
"Very well; but as soon as she's well enough you understand that nothing you can say or do will prevent me." Peg laughed grimly. "Oh, yes, I understand that," she said. And so it was left, and for the following sad days Forrester kept his word and Faith was left in peace.
By taking a short cut over the ridge we struck into the Shelby road without going down into Port Vigor again. Peg pulled us along toward Greenbriar, and we talked as we went. Perhaps the best of it was that a cold drizzle of rain began to fall as we moved along the hill road. The Professor as I still call him, by force of habit curtined in the front of the van with a rubber sheet.
