An Angel in disguise is written by

American writer T. S. Arthur (1851).


 


The death of an alcoholic woman in the

village, leaving behind her three children is met with indifference. After her

funeral, the eldest son and the second daughter are adopted by two of the

villagers. But the third, and the youngest – Maggie, who has a damaged spine

and is fully bed ridden as a result of a fall, gets left behind.


 


Joe Thompson, the wheelwright of

the village feels bad for Maggie and takes her home even though he knows his

wife will not be happy. As expected, his wife is not too happy. Joe comforts

her quoting the Bible.


 


Next day Mrs. Thomson asks her

husband how he will get rid of Maggie and he replies he will work extra to see

that Maggie is send to the poorhouse. At dusk when he comes back, he is

surprised to find his wife sitting by Maggie’s bed side and talking to her. While

having supper she asks again, what he will do with Maggie, to which he answers

that she will be taken to the poorhouse the next day.


 


After supper, Joe sees his wife taking food to Maggie and waiting for her to finish it. Joe understands that Maggie’s innocence and love has won over his wife’s bitter and stony nature. Shortly his wife tells him that she would like to keep Maggie for a couple of days more. But happily, for all three of them, the ‘couple of days’ goes on and on and they live together as a happy family
