A general laugh succeeded this announcement, Peggy Perott being an old maid who went about tending the sick for hire, in the vicinity of Clawbonny, and known to us all as the ugliest woman in the county. "Why do you first insist on my giving a toast, and then laugh at it when given?" cried Mr. Hardinge, half-amused, half-serious in his expostulations.
Still, we would not be put off; and the old gentleman, composing his countenance five or six times in vain efforts to reflect, then looking as grave as if about to proceed to prayer, raised his glass, and said "Peggy Perott!"
But enough of this; I have given Peggy Perott, and you are bound to drink her" that we had done already; "and now, cousin, as I have passed through the fiery furnace " "Unscathed?" demanded Lucy, laughing ready to kill herself. "Yes, unscathed, miss: and now, cousin, I ask of you to honour us with a toast." Mrs. Bradfort had been a widow many years, and was fortified with the panoply of her state.
