Mary Elizabeth Braddon - Christmas Hirelings

It is the Christmas season once again and things are, well, boring for the adults at Penlyon Castle. "...if somehow or other I had a pack of children belonging to me, I would keep Christmas with the best — keep it as it ought to be kept." says Sir John. His good friend Mr. Danby has the perfect solution — to hire some children to spend Christmas! Thus, the arrival of Lassie, Laddie, and little Moppet — Christmas and Sir John may never be the same again. (Summary by ppcunningham)
