"I am glad you are here, Father," she said, "for I have an announcement to make to you."
"Shall I go?" Elizabeth asked.
"No, dear, I want you to stay. It's not a secret. It is merely that Mr. Chambers has asked me to marry him, and I have said that I would."
"Oh, Lord!" Peggy cried.
"Don't you want me for a brother-in-law, Miss Peggy?" Mr. Chambers asked. "You don't sound very much pleased at our news."
"I don't want any brother-in-law very much," Peggy said, "but I do want my sister to do what she wants to, and—and to be happy," she finished, lamely.
"I don't know what to say," Mr. Farraday said. "I feel just about the way Peggy does. If—if you're both sure, you have my blessing."
"What nonsense!" Mrs. Farraday cried. "Of course they are both sure, and of course they have our blessing."
"How about you, little Miss Elizabeth?" Piggy Chambers smiled at her and held out his hand.
"I—I congratulate you," Elizabeth said.
