Pixie — Peggy O'More

Pixie Odburn returned to the old family home, commonly called Old House, to be reunited with the grandparents, cousins and uncles and aunts who lived nearby, and to collaborate with her mother on a picture book of flora and fauna for the children. She was amazed to discover that during her absence Gary Winters, a newcomer to the region, had reopened the old ghost mine, the Mercury, with the help of a group of former war buddies, and was working it. Gary's capital resources, although adequate, were exceeded by his dreams. Yet the very troubles and even sabotage which cut into his financial reserves indicated that the dreams might be justified. So Pixie too time off from her flowers to help a fellow with quicksilver in his eyes.
