"So far as lies in your power," replied Mrs. Chichester.
A picture of Ethel struggling in Brent's arms suddenly flashed across Peg, and before she could restrain herself she had said in exact imitation of her cousin:
"Please don't! It is so hot this morning!"
Then Peg laughed loudly to Ethel's horror and Mrs. Chichester's disgust.
"How dare you!" cried her aunt.
Peg looked at her a moment, all the mirth died away.
"Mustn't I laugh in this house?" she asked.
"You have a great deal to learn."
"Yes, aunt."
"Your education will begin to-morrow."
