Shooing the little brood ahead of her, she marched out of sight up the hill, and Peace followed the minister into the house, wailing disconsolately, "I thought they were orphans and I could adopt them like grandpa did." "But think how nice it is that they have a mother and father and a nice home of their own. Aren't you glad they are not friendless waifs?" It was a new thought.
