Ten-year-old Horace Withers and his seven-year-old sister Ethel were tragically orphaned by the influenza epidemic of 1921. They ran away to avoid being sent to an orphanage, and were found by Jim Cooper who took them in. Miss Rebecca Pilgrim was a woman of strict Victorian principles, eminently respectable, and determined to keep her privacy intact. She had reckoned without her new lodgers - Horace, Ethel and the irrepressible Jim Cooper. And thus began the humanizing of Miss Pilgrim, who turned out to be younger, prettier and far gentler than any of them had suspected.
