How she longed at that moment to be back home with her father to New York. Before she could say anything Etbel continued: "It you tnslat on waiting, kindly do so there."

'Follow the path to your right until you come to a door. Knock and ask permission to wait there. and for your' future guidance go to the back door of a house and ring. Don't walk announced into It private room." Peg tried to explain: "Ye see. ma'am. i didn't know.
