(Peggy's dairy) "I know now that I love Billy more than I ever loved anyone but I will never let him know. It would only bring unhappiness to everyone concerned. I will not come between a husband and wife that way." The spurned lover then shot himself in the suite at the hotel next door to Peggys. The shocked Peggy lamented "now it's too late. I loved him, but I played with him. I dangled him on a string just as I did many others. Oh, why did I do it? I think I will go insane". (caption from old site)
