An excerpt discusses the novel The Custard Cup by Florence Bingham Livingston, highlighting a heroine a washer woman who helps orphans and neighbors. The narrative praises the author's talent, humor, realism, and focus on small life details and resilience in hardship.
Mrs Penfield runs six dwelling units in The Custard Cup named Cluster Court though Number 47 sits off the main block. She launders for Weatherstone patrons and aids tenants with croup burns and leaks while Crink and Thad help with stockings and repairs amid a tight but improving family life.
Mrs Penfield guards a mysterious package left by Gussie Bosley while neighbors discuss Thad’s origins. Tensions rise as Mr Wopple questions Thad’s background, prompting Penfield to defend the child’s right to a private past and insist on safeguarding him from gossip. Thad discovers a tied package labeled Bosley, hinting at unseen family connections.
