The Christmas Hirelings, Part 3, ch. 5-6, by Mary Elizabeth Braddon

This is part three of The Christmas Hirelings by Mary Elizabeth Braddon.

It's the Christmas holidays at Penlyon Place! In part three of the story, there are several Christmas meals and celebrations that Sir John, Danby, Miss Hawberk and the three children attend. Sir John and the youngest child Moppet continue to form a loving bond. These chapters overflow with Christmas cheer and is definitely worth making some hot chocolate while you listen.
