The coffin was covered with the Union Jack, and behind it were borne on a cushion Burton's order and medals. Then followed a carriage with a pyramid of wreaths, and lastly, the children of St. Joseph's orphanage, a regiment of infantry and the governor and officials of Trieste. Every flag in the town was half-mast high, multitudes thronged the streets, and every window and balcony was crowded.
Later the brothers transferred themselves and their orphanage to the spacious park Elphinstone Park on the southern bank of the Adyar River, the premises which they occupy still. For some thirty years the Company took no part in educational work, and the children of Madras were left entirely to Father Ephraim's care.
"She has lately begun to open Church bazaars: I thought they would do for her to begin upon. And the other day she laid the foundation-stone of a dogs' orphanage very nicely, I'm told."

But did she say what becomes of the money if either of them break the terms? 'Goes to a girl's orphanage, somewhere in the old man's country. But there's more than I've accounted for yet. Young Barmby's sisters get legacies a hundred and fifty apiece. And, last of all, the old servant has an annuity of two hundred.
A projection of themselves shall appear to haunt unfriended these scenes of happiness, a natural child of fancy, begotten and forgotten unawares. Over the whole field of our wanderings such fetches are still travelling like indefatigable bagmen; but the imps of Fontainebleau, as of all beloved spots, are very long of life, and memory is piously unwilling to forget their orphanage.
Much attention was devoted by the Red Cross to caring for school children and orphans. Over two million hot lunches were distributed, during a period of a few months, to three hundred and thirty schools with twenty thousand pupils.

She was the daughter of a sergeant in the arsenal in Madras; her father and mine were old friends, and when mine was killed in Afghanistan, me mother just dwindled away and broke her heart.
