“MOORE WENT to get his mother. “Mother,” he said, “this is Mr. James Henry Alden. He wants to take his grandchildren to live with him,”
“I’m afraid they won’t want to go with you,” said Mrs. Moore, “until they learn to like you. And they won’t want to go while Violet is so sick.”
“Can’t I see them?” begged Mr. Alden. “I won’t tell them who I am.”

“Yes,” said Mrs. Moore. “Stay her...e with us for awhile. The children will learn to like you, and then we can tell them that you are their grandfather.”

“I just want these children to be happy,” he said.
