Question

who adopted john and katy? what was their real intention in doing so?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

John, the oldest, a boy of twelve, was a stout lad, able to earn his living with any farmer. Kate, between ten and eleven, was bright, active girl, out of whom something clever might be made, if in good hands.

Farmer Jones offered to take the boy John with him as John was stout and the farmer could make him work in his fields.

Mrs Ellis took Katy as she had been looking for a bound girl to work in her house. However, Mrs Ellis pretended that she was doing charity as she said the girl would be of no use for several years and would surely cause trouble as she seemed headstrong.
