About this book

Laughter outside a snowbound cottage introduces a household whose kindness has taken an awkward turn. 'Tilda Jane, a young orphan who keeps house for Hank Dillson and his father, wants to give another unhappy girl a home. The arrival of a much older, larger newcomer upsets the picture she had imagined. Hank recounts the situation to his French neighbours, bringing the reader into a small community where family affection, curiosity and teasing share the same fireside.

Marshall Saunders's 1909 story also gives household animals a strong place in 'Tilda Jane's affections. She and Grandpa grieve over a puppy and pigeon taken away by Perletta, while she lifts the dog Gippie onto her lap. These exchanges show how caring for people and animals can bring competing loyalties.
