waiting for him. He made one spring
at her. much to the lawyers dignified
amazement, and began to bark at her
and lick her face and hands and jump
on and roll over and over upon Peg in
an excess of joy at his release.
Peg offered O'Farrell an American
dollar. She had very little left.

had entered new country and new
life. They reached the railway sta.

in half an hour they were on train
bound for the north Of England.
During the journey Hawkes. volun-
teered no Information. He bought her
papers and magazines and offered her
lunch. This Peg refused. She said
the ship had not agreed with her. She
did not think she would want food for
long time to come.
After awhile, tired out with the rush
and excitement of the ships arrival,
Peg fell asleep.
In few hours they reached their
destination. Hawkes. woke her and
told her she was at her journeys end.
He again hailed cab, told the driver
where to go and got In with Peg, MI
chael and her luggage. In the cab he
handed Peg a card and told her to go

stopped. Peg looked at the name on
the gateposts and then at the name on
the card Mr.. Hawkes. had given her.

on tour Of inspection. She walked
through the paths dividing rose beds
until she came to some open windows.
The main entrance hall Of the house
seemed to be hidden away somewhere
amid the tall old trees.

Everything in 1t was old and massive.
It bespoke centuries gone by in every
detail Peg held her breath AZ she
looked around her. Pictures and
tapestries stared at her from the walls.
Beautiful old vases were arranged in

wonders Of the room, when she sud-
