WINTIARD occupies room 30 in the Turd block calling himself a real estate agent while guests visit for favors not fees. It is the day before Christmas as a dull December sun casts light on him in a padded leather chair, his gray hair and earnest, generous manner contrasted by his folded hands.
Ward, a wealthy man labeled by town as the one who pulls others from trouble, receives an unusual Christmas gift when Robert Allison Broxley arrives with two twin babies hidden under a quilt. The boy explains the twins are his, asking Ward to take one, while Ward chooses the girl, and a plan forms for Ward to help raise them with Robert monitoring the arrangements.
A man dressed to hide from the office door trunching a perambulator explains to Yemans that one of his two babies was given away to Mr Hard. He says the baby is named Truth and that Hard now “keeps” it since he cannot feed it properly, while the man proudly notes the other child remains his.
