Peggy, why won't you marry me? You know I've always loved you, Peggy, and now I can tell you so because Uncle Fred has left me all his money. You think a great deal about money, Peggy. You said it was the greatest thing in the world. PEGGY WHY WON'T YOU MARRY ME YOU KNOW I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED YOU PEGGY AND NOW I CAN TELL YOU SO BECAUSE UNCLE FRED HAS LEFT ME ALL HIS MONEY YOU THINK A GREAT DEAL ABOUT MONEY PEGGY YOU SAID IT WAS THE GREATEST THING IN THE WORLD
to explain to her, though, because where there's a will there is always a way, and there were three wills. Uncle Fred should not have left so many wills--who would have thought the old man had so much ink in him? But I will be a very great painter, Uncle Fred, and make her sorry for the way she has treated me, and _then_ Kathleen will understand I was talking about Peggy." His voice died away, and Margaret sat with wide eyes listening for it again. Would the doctor never come! Billy was smiling and picking at the sheets. "But Peggy is so rich," the faint voice presently complained--"so beastly rich! There is gold in her hair, and if you will look very closely you will see that her lashes were pure gold until she dipped them in the ink-pot. Besides, she expects me to sit up and beg for lumps of sugar, and I _never_ take sugar in my coffee. And Peggy doesn't drink coffee at all, so I think it is very unfair, especially as Teddy Anstruther drinks like a fish and she is going to marry him. AFTER THERE MUST BE SOME WAY TO EXPLAIN TO HER THOUGH BECAUSE WHERE THERE'S A WILL THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY AND THERE WERE THREE WILLS UNCLE FRED SHOULD NOT HAVE LEFT SO MANY WILLS WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THE OLD MAN HAD SO MUCH INK IN HIM BUT I WILL BE A VERY GREAT PAINTER UNTO UNCLE FRED AND MAKE HER SORRY FOR THE WAY SHE HAD TREATED ME AND THEN KATHLEY WILL UNDERSTAND I WAS TALKING ABOUT PEGGY HIS VOICE DIED AWAY AND MARGARET SAT WITH WIDE EYES LISTENING FOR IT AGAIN WOULD THE DOCTOR NEVER COME BILLY WAS SMILING AND PICKING AT THE SHEETS BUT PEGGY IS SO RICH THE FAINT VOICE PRESENTLY COMPLAINED SO BEASTLY RICH THERE IS GOLD IN HER HAIR AND IF YOU WILL LOOK VERY CLOSELY YOU WILL SEE THAT HER LASHES WERE PURE GOLD UNTIL SHE DIPPED THEM IN THE INK POT BESIDES SHE EXPECTS ME TO SIT UP AND BEG FOR LUMPS OF SUGAR AND I NEVER TAKE SUGAR IN MY COFFEE AND PEGGY DOESN'T DRINK COFFEE AT ALL SO I THINK IT IS VERY UNFAIR ESPECIALLY AS TEDDY ANSTRUTHER DRINKS LIKE A FISH AND SHE IS GOING TO MARRY HIM
