"I am the daughter of a woman who, ... opened her village home to stray cats, tramps, and pregnant servant girls. ... who many a time, when she was in despair at not having enough money for others, ran through the wind-whipped snow to cry from door to door, at the houses of the rich, that a child had just been born in a poverty-stricken home to parents whose feeble, empty hands had no swaddling clothes for it."
