The adopted son : or, illustrations of the Lord's prayer by A. L. O. E.
"The Adopted Son: or, Illustrations of the Lord's Prayer" by A. L. O. E. is a moralistic tale written in the mid-19th century. The narrative revolves around a young girl named Nelly and her father, Viner, who adopt a boy named Walter, the son of a convict. The story explores themes of kindness, redemption, and the influence of family and faith on personal development. At the start of the story, we meetNelly who is excited about the arrival of her new brother, Walter. The conversation between various villagers, including Goldie the fruiterer and Mrs. Winter, reveals concerns about Walter's lineage and the challenges he might face due to his father's past. Despite the villagers' skepticism, Viner and Nelly demonstrate kindness towards Walter, creating a warm household atmosphere where he is welcomed and encouraged. Viner imparts Christian values and the significance of prayer to both Nelly and Walter, setting the groundwork for a narrative steeped in the exploration of moral challenges and the efforts to live by one's principles amidst societal judgments.
