This fiction is the story of a sweet old lady in an English village who owns a wealth of unapplied maternity, which she uses as opportunities come. She supports a scholar who admitted to a pitiful weakness for drinking and whose shattered life she has decided to strengthen. Two little boys, relatives to Miss Esperance, being orphaned, are also confided to her care. The middle-aged bachelor with broken ambitions and the older woman with an absence of love dedicate themselves to turning these two boys into good human beings of the future. Harker has successfully presented a delightful narrative of a lovely old woman and a young man who took in their care two orphaned little boys and brought them up according to her own principles. This work delivers a pleasant and thoughtful story with decent and caring people. It is incredibly written and full of emotions with lifelike characters.
