"Certainly."
"Thank ye," cried Peg. "I won't kape ye long. I've not much to take with me. Just what I brought here—that's all."
She hurried across the room to the staircase. When, she was halfway up the stairs, Jarvis entered and was immediately followed by Jerry.
Peg stopped when she saw him come into the room.
As Jarvis went out, Jerry turned and saw Peg looking down at him. The expression on her face was at once stern and wistful and angry and yearning.
He went forward eagerly.
"Peg!" he said gently, looking up at her.
"I'm goin' back to me father in half an hour!" and she went on up the stairs.
"In half an hour?" he called after her.
"In thirty minutes!" she replied and disappeared.
