Playing Pilgrims: 'Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents,' grumbled Jo, lying on the rug... The four young faces on which the firelight shone brightened at the cheerful words 'We've got Father and Mother and each other'.

Beth is a delicate child of 13 with a taste for music, and Amy is a blonde beauty of 12.
