Про цю електронну книгу

"An Old Chester secret" tells of Miss Lydia Sampson's adoption of the boy whom she called Johnnie Smith, of her loyalty to him in the face of base suspicions, and of the bitter conflict of wills when Johnnie's real parents tried to take him from her. "When Old Chester wondered" is the story of Rose Knight, braving the gossip of the town to save the man she loved. "The Eliot's Katy" is a masterpiece of mother-love; it tells of the great-hearted sacrifice of the unlettered Cockney cook, who publicly denied her daughter that the girl might be free to play the part of a "lady" in the world"--Dust jacket.
