Chapter XL
CONCLUSION. The house made once more inhabitable, Peakslow's family moved back into it. But this change did not take Lyddy away from the "castle," nor break up Vinnie's school. The "castle" now underwent some renovation. The long-neglected plastering was done, and the rooms in daily use were made comfortable.
