ages. Their infant son is less than a year old. Tackleton, who is planning o=
n=20

      On his delivery route, John picks up an elderly stranger who ends up=20
moving in with the couple.
      Caleb and his blind daughter, Bertha, are toymakers in Tackleton=E2=

beautiful, although they are desperately poor. Their poverty led his son=20
Edward to seek his fortune in South America, only to die in his pursuit of r=
iches.
