"Is it so hard?" pleaded Jerry, again following her..
"I don't know whether it's hard or aisy until I thry it."
"Then try," urged Jerry, going quite close to her: She faced him: "I never had anyone makin' such a fuss about havin' me for a friend before. I don't understand you at all."
"Yet I'm very simple," said Jerry.
"I don't doubt ye," Peg answered drily. "From what I've heard of them most of the English are—simple."
He laughed and held out his hand. "What's that for?" she asked suspiciously.
"To our friendship."
"I never saw the likes of you in all me life."
"Come—Peg."
"I don't think it's necessary."
