Dot, abused and neglected by her alcoholic parents, is rescued from the street outside a brewey by a Sunday school teacher and given the warmth and comfort of a Christmas party before she dies amidst her joy. Piety and philanthropic sentiment mixed in this slight tale. Christian woman's nurturing mother role stressed. (PB)
