The pale , pretty girl came up and took the baby from the tired mother . `` What a dear little fellow , '' she said softly . `` Are you going home for Christmas too ? '' asked Aunt Cyrilla . The girl shook her head . `` I have n't any home . I 'm just a shop girl out of work at present , and I 'm going to Pembroke to look for some . '' Aunt Cyrilla went to her basket and took out her box of cream candy . `` I guess we might as well enjoy ourselves . Let 's eat it all up and have a good time . Maybe we 'll get down to Pembroke in the morning . '' The little group grew cheerful as they nibbled , and even the pale girl brightened up . The little mother told Aunt Cyrilla her story aside . She had been long estranged from her family , who had disapproved of her marriage . Her husband had died the previous summer , leaving her in poor circumstances . `` Father wrote to me last week and asked me to let bygones be bygones and come home for Christmas . I was so glad . And the children 's hearts were set on it .
It seems too bad that we are not XXXXX get there .
