With excitement in her cheeks and eyes she was extraordinarily lovely.
Kenny with difficulty kept his feet firmly upon the floor a yard away from her.

Peggy laughed up at him, her piquant face impudent and understanding.

"Peggy!" he said, "you little wretch!" It was growing harder day by day to keep his love a secret.
