Book Excerpt: 
. . .I suppose I shall seem very foolish to you," she said, gently; "but I am afraid to walk down there alone. Would you mind going along with me to protect me? I am only a woman, you know, and we are apt to be cowards."

A very curious sensation came over Nimble Dick. He looked up the alley, and down the alley, and was glad that not one of the "fellows" was in sight. What was to become of his lark? But there was that hand still resting on his arm, with a persuasive touch in it; and he had never been appealed to for protection before,—never in his life! Was it possible that with him she would not be afraid? He turned and looked at her, searchingly, a scowl on his face,—no, she was not "shamming;" her eyes were full of anxious fear, and also of petition. Nimble Dick was amazed at himself and ashamed of himself; he did not know how to account for his sudden change of intention.

Fairly standard Victorian improving literature, although more fleshed out than many, with more life to it. A good quote that is very applicable to today's world with constant and overwhelming negative news: 'Perhaps just now there is nothing that I can do for the hundreds, so I want to narrow my tho

I have now finished all of the Ester Reid series!!! All six books have been very enjoyable, convicting conservative writing. No one writes like Pansy (Isabelle Alden) or Martha Finley anymore.

She would love to gather all of the r

Not quite as good as book 1, but still worth the read! The ending had me so frustrated when the author kept giving a glimpse into different parts of the story she didn't cover, but I now understand, since starting book 3 that you can hear more of the story by reading the other books.

Loved it just as much as the other times I've read and reread this book!

I don't know how many times I've read, re-read, and skimmed this book. I still love it each time I open the cover and start turning the pages. Flossy Roberts is so sweet and is willing to work wherever the Lord leads

Do what is in front of you, be faithful in the small things, lay everything out before the Lord, and watch how He works in the lives of those thought unredeemable. Another winner. Black Dirk and Nimble Dick are two of the 8 boys that Ester Ried's younger brother are anxious to influence for Christ.
