Then Lady Peggy, laughing, humming such a gay snatch of a song, comes tripping down the stairs.	[Frontispiece]
And Lady Peggy and her woman found themselves on the road to town.	[Page 40]
“A touch, a hit!” cry all at once as a spurt of blood darts up the supposed Sir Robin’s blade.	[Page 68]
Two watched her as she came in on Beau Brummell’s arm.	[Page 112]
At the table sat Kennaston, inky-fingered, scribbling; eyes now rolling to the ceiling, now roving hither and yon.	[Page 158]

The instant that Lady Peggy felt herself in the highwayman’s saddle, she knew that her wrists had met their match.	[Page 186]
“I am Sir Robin McTart! Who, the devil, are you?”	[Page 278]
“Ah, Peggy, my adored one,” says he, devouring her pale face with his happy eyes.	[Page 336]
