When I was a child I had a painting of a girl with sad dark eyes that followed you around the room. You could tell just by looking at her that she had no mother, a fate that in Edwardian literature was common;  young girls huddled in doorways begging for crumbs or in a rat-infested attic like Sara Crewe of Frances Hodgson Burnett’s “A Little Princess.”
