The Angel of the Tenement

In The Angel of the Tenement, stern Miss Carew and industrious Miss Bonkowski find a young girl on their doorstep calling herself an “Angel.” They must take her to her mother before the Angel runs havoc in their tenement. Excerpt: “Another case of desertion,” pronounced Mrs. O'Malligan, having returned meanwhile with a cup filled with a thin blue liquid known to the Tenement as milk, “a plain case of desertion, and what's to be done about it, I never can say!”
