AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Mrs Baker's husband dies two hours before her thirteenth child is born. All the neighbours, except the irascible Mrs North, rally round to help the widow. Mrs Baker's brother offers her accommodation on his farm, but at first can only take Mrs Baker and her two youngest children. He appeals to the neighbours to take the other eleven children for a fortnight, but Mrs North is the only neighbour willing to assist.
