proceeded to the sponge bath and oil rub. These rested and refreshed her

robe over her head, and tied the pink ribbon on her curls. Then he piled
the pillows, leaned her against them and brought the mirror.
"Now open your peepers, Flowersy-girl, and tell me how Miss O'Halloran
strikes you!" he exulted.
Peaches took one long look. She opened her mouth.
