I would n't have been glad to see father if he 'd come back the same as he went away . But he is a changed man . He happened to go into a revival meeting one night this spring and he got converted . And he 's come home to stay , and he says he 's never going to drink another drop , but he 's going to look after his family . Ma is n't to do any more washing for nobody but him and me , and I 'm not to be a hired boy any longer . He says I can stay with your Uncle Roger till the fall 'cause I promised I would , but after that I 'm to stay home and go to school right along and learn to be whatever I 'd like to be . I tell you it made me feel queer . Everything seemed to be upset . But he gave ma forty dollars -- every cent he had -- so I guess he really is converted . '' `` I hope it will last , I 'm sure , '' said Felicity . She did not say it nastily , however . We were all glad for Peter 's sake , though a little dizzy over the unexpectedness of it all . `` This is what I 'D like to know , '' said Peter . `` How did Peg Bowen know my father was coming home ? Do n't you tell me she is n't a witch after that . '' `` And she knew about your Aunt Olivia 's wedding , too , '' added Sara Ray . `` Oh , well , she likely heard that from some one . Grown up folks talk things over long before they tell them to children , '' said Cecily . `` Well , she could n't have heard father was coming home from any one , '' answered Peter . `` He was converted up in Maine , where nobody knew him , and he never told a soul he was coming till he got here .
No , you can believe what you like , but I 'm satisfied at last that Peg is a XXXXX and that skull of hers does tell her things .
