Not  being  by  nature  deceitful,  Peggy

                               tried  to  summon  courage  lo  explain
                               what  had  been  done,  so  the  Doctor

                               would  stop  Barbarlna  and  call  WiUfred
                               back;  but  she  was  such  a  timid  little

                               thing,  and  she  recalled  so  distinctly
                               how big  and  angry  he  looked  when  he

                               had  sent  her away from  Del haven  bid'
                               ding  her  never  to  come  back  again,

                               that  she  shrank  back  in  the  carriage,
                               thankful that Winfred's  large hat  shaded

                               her face, and  thinking  it  would  be  easier

                               to  tell  him  by  and  by.
