Poor Peg sat down, breathing hard. her fingers locking and unlocking, her stanch little heart aching for tho one human being she was told not to re- fer to.
 This house was not going to hold her prisoner if her fathers name was to be sighted or ignored. On that point she was determined. Back to America she would go if her fathers name was ever insuTted before her.
