Johnny could not understand why his questioner should be pleased to hear that he was an orphan. Lyman Taylor seemed to him a very incomprehensible man. He felt rather uncomfortable in his presence, and hoped the man would go away, and leave him to attend to his business.

"What?" exclaimed Lyman, in a tone that made the little match boy jump. "You live with an old woman named Peggy?"
"Yes, sir."
"Is she your aunt?"
"I suppose so. I always call her Aunt Peggy."
