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. 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
nd his fat back, Petheridge Jukesbury waved a cautioning hand at Margaret, who had risen from her chair. "But it is very absurd," Billy murmured, in the mere ghost of a voice, "because men don't propose by mistake except in farces. Somebody told me that, but I can't remember who, because I am a misogynist. That is a Greek word, and I would explain it to Peggy, if she would only give me a chance, but she can't because she has those seventeen hundred and fifty thousand children to look 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, 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!
