Synopsis

Steve considered adopting ten-year-old Ernie, but encountered resistance from Uncle Charley, who anticipated only increased burdens with another boy needing care. Despite this, the family yearned to welcome Ernie into their home, prompting Robbie to suggest that Steve pursue the affections of Miss Coulter. Unfortunately, her employer arrived to inspect the house precisely when the boys had left it in a state of considerable disarray. The following morning at eight o’clock, Miss Miller returned.
