Project Gutenberg 2007-10-25 Public domain in the USA. 104 Vaders, Henrietta Wikkey A Scrap Produced by Bethanne M. Simms, Barbara Kosker, J Howse and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Wikkey" by Henrietta Vaders is a novella written during the late 19th century. This poignant story revolves around the relationship between a kind-hearted young man named Lawrence Granby and a destitute street boy named Wikkey Whiston, exploring themes of compassion, love, and the struggle against urban poverty. The narrative presents a social commentary on the plight of the needy, particularly children, in a Victorian society marked by stark class disparities. In the story, Lawrence, who works in a government office, becomes enamored with the small, curious figure of Wikkey, a crossing-sweeper who adores him from afar. Their lives intertwine when Lawrence discovers Wikkey's deteriorating health due to tuberculosis. He compassionately takes the boy in, providing him warmth, comfort, and affection, while trying to instill moral values in his life. As Wikkey’s health declines, their bond deepens, and Lawrence learns profound truths about love, sacrifice, and spirituality through their interactions. The novella culminates in a heart-wrenching conclusion as Wikkey passes away peacefully, leaving a lasting impact on Lawrence. The narrative is a testament to the enduring power of kindness and the human spirit amid suffering. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 73.8 (7th grade).
