She was\u003cbr\u003ewell aware the she was no oil panting, but as with most women, she\u003cbr\u003econsidered she had something in her make up and appearance that might\u003cbr\u003eattract a man into her life.  She knew that her name was hardly\u003cbr\u003esomething that would attract anyone and she dropped the name FLUCK for\u003cbr\u003eobvious reasons when she became a school teacher and was in charge of\u003cbr\u003ean army of five to six year old boys . . .  and adopted the name PEGGOTY\u003cbr\u003einstead of Margaret because to her that sounded much more feminine,\u003cbr\u003ealthough her greatest interest outside of her teaching was motor\u003cbr\u003emechanics and she proved she could master that task as well as any man.\u003cbr\u003ePeggoty loved all the children she taught, but there was one little boy\u003cbr\u003ewho attracted her more than the others named BENJAMIN SCHOFIELD . . .
