Work Description
When Davie and John Willie Halliday lose their father in a mine cave-in, the orphans are left to fend for themselves. Twelve-year-old Davie finds shelter for himself and John Willie, a deaf mute, on the grounds of the home of Miss Peamarsh, an eccentric recluse with a mysterious past. With the help of a drifter, Davie and John Willie free Miss Peamarsh from her painful secrets and she gives them a home.
