Sinopsis

Excerpt from Pine Valley

The baby seemed to possess an influence that purified the atmosphere: while the men might be garrulous or profane in the presence of any other youngster better capable of imitating their wickedness, with this one they bit the oath in two, although he was not old enough to distinguish between blasphemy and a prayer. He was such a good-natured baby, too, always ready with a smile for any one who took his hands or kissed them, that every one seemed in some sort impressed with the individual responsibility of making life pleasant to him. The situation, no doubt, derived much of its dignity from the fact that no ties of kinship existed between the baby and the man, and every one knew in Pine Valley the way in which the companionship came about and matured.
