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.
