Peggy Raymond's Vacation; Or, Friendly Terrace Transplanted

Peggy Raymond spends her school‑year’s last days lounging on a porch with her friends Amy, Priscilla, and Ruth, dreaming of a true country escape. Their conversation drifts from lazy summer afternoons to the ideal of winding roads, clucking hens and endless sunsets, hinting at a plan that will take them far beyond Friendly Terrace’s familiar streets. When a familiar visitor arrives and a mysterious blue envelope appears, the girls find themselves on the brink of a spontaneous adventure that promises fresh scenery and unexpected responsibilities.

The story follows their lively preparations, a re‑christened cottage, and a series of lighthearted mishaps—picnics, a benefit performance, and the occasional mischief that only a close‑knit group can create. As Peggy’s longing for the “sure‑enough country” begins to take shape, listeners are invited into a warm portrait of early‑20th‑century girlhood, friendship, and the simple thrill of stepping into an unplanned journey.
