Peg O’ My Heart

CHAPTER VIII
2/17

The cadences of her voice would haunt him through the years to come.
And in a little while he must leave it all.

He must stand his trial under the "Crimes Act" for speaking at a "Proclaimed" meeting.
Well, whatever his torture he knew he would come out better equipped for the struggle.

He had learned something of himself he had so far never dreamed of in his bitter struggle with the handicap of his life.
He had something to live for now besides the call of his country--the call of the HEART--the cry of beauty and truth and reverence.
Angela inspired him with all these.

In the three days she ministered to him she had opened up a vista he had hitherto never known.

And now he had to leave it and face his accusers, and be hectored and jeered at in the mockery they called "trials." From the Court-House he would go to the prison and from thence he would be sent back into the world with the brand of the prison-cell upon him.
