The little runaways at Orchard house

Introduction

Phineas Trot Burton, “whose mother was a Higgins,” and little Cathie, who could not remember her own mother, have grown up in Mrs. Burton’s pleasant home in a Maine village. They were little runaways from an orphan asylum, and found a real mother and a “ truly home.”

In “ The Little Eunaways at Home,” and “ The Little Kunaways and Mother,” is told the story of their adventures, how Phineas kills a bear, makes a friend of the village clergyman, and Cathie tries housekeeping and meets “ Miss Patricia ” from London.

In “ The Little Eunaways at Orchard House ” Phineas begins to help other asylum boys, and gives them some of the good times he has enjoyed on a farm. Cathie’s adventure in the apple tree, and the adventures and escapes of the six boys who spend a summer vacation at Orchard House will be sure to interest boys and girls who have made the acquaintance of the “ Little Eunaways ” in the earlier volumes of this series.
