Glory Beck, her blind grandfather, and Bo’sn, the dog, lived happily together in “the littlest house in New York” and did many odd jobs, until one day Glory heard that her grandfather was to be taken to “Snug Harbor,” the seamen’s home, where they never took little girls. But she went bravely on serving and peddling peanuts with this fear in her heart until one day Bo’sn came home without her grandfather. Then she set out to find him, and the story is not allowed to end unhappily for either the old sailor or his sunny grandchild.
