The story ends with the writer bestowing the status of an Angel on Maggie, who had come into Joe Thompson's house, " disguised as a sick, helpless, and miserable child who filled all its dreary chambers with the sunshine of love".
Though this has been directly stated for Maggi as avid readers, we should look deeper. Not only Maggie proved to be an angel for the childless couple, but Joe Thompson also proved to be no less than an angel for her. maggi is a bad ridden child had lost not only mother but also her siblings. Nobody in the village agreed to take in maggi since she could not be of no use to them. It is even suggested that she should be taken to the poor house because nobody would want to take care of her "wan and wasted form".
Maggie was left all alone and it was angel like Joe Thompson who felt it to be a cruel gesture. The writer has presented Joe with angel like qualities.He was a man with a tender heart who liked children. He also mentioned the teachings of Bible to his wife to be kind enough to let Maggie stay with him for a single night. Joe Thompson took in maggie out of her sheer concern and affection, looked after her, and provided her with food, shelter and love.
Maggie who had been attributed as an Angel in disguise by the unexpected happy life through him.
