A young girl named Peggy appears in a series of short domestic episodes that trace her everyday life, imaginative play, and small adventures. She shares a secret about a distant white cottage with her younger brother, invents stories, and negotiates rivalries and consolations with siblings, nurses, and neighbors. Set pieces include lost shoes, soap-bubbling games, an umbrella incident, and visits to the opposite house, each chapter centering on a single event or feeling. The prose balances gentle humor, child-centered perception, and close observation of household routines and the comforts of fantasy.
Obvious punctuation errors repaired.
Page 101, the text mentions a "Ferndale Road". There are many references elsewhere to "Fernley Road" so this might be a misprint. It was retained.
The remaining corrections made are indicated by dotted lines under the corrections. Scroll the mouse over the word and the original text will appear.
