The New-Year's Bargain (Classic Reprint) Synopsis

Excerpt from The New-Year's Bargain

There is a pile at home already, almost as high as the cottage roof but Thekla is resolved that her fire shall always be bright when Max and the Grandfather come in from out-doors, blue and cold; and she isn't satisfied yet.
