Lorinda "Ladyfingers" Bean by thetreadler

Adoption Notice

Mrs. Blathersby's Orphanage seeks immediate placement for young, oddly white-haired and rather cinder-dusted orphan girl. She was found this past week hiding in the chimney where apparently she has been residing for gracious knows how long. We at MRSBO run a tight ship and do NOT look kindly upon young vagabonds who take advantage of our generous, good nature by tucking themselves into the nooks and crannies of our warm bossom.

Sadly, for Lorinda "Lady Fingers" Bean, (the orphan child in question - L.L. Bean for short) it is virtually unheard of to live "off the books" and undetected at MRSBO. She was discovered after only 2 years hiding out in the fireplace chimney of the Great Hall. She'd have been discovered even sooner if anyone were ever allowed to go into the Great Hall.

She's in perfectly good health, although rather sooty. Apparently she was able to negotiate meals from the orphans in exchange for puppetry performances. The children eagerly reward a good laugh at the staff's expense...

MRSBO Adoption: Abner by The Whimsical Goblin

__________________________________

Abner is from the town of Millwood. His parents died unexpectedly, long ago.
After his parents passed away he was sent to Mrs. Blathersby's Orphanage.Abner has been at the Orphanage for a very long time. No one seems to remember how long, especially Abner.

When he came to the Orphanage, the only possession he had was his teddy bear.

Abner is a very unhappy little boy, no one seems to be able to make him smile.
What causes this sadness, one wonders.

Abner is special.

Abner absorbs the sadness from those around him.
And living at the Orphanage, well, there is lots of sadness there.

MRSBO Adoptions: Bella and Donna

Welcome to this week's adoption. May I introduce to you the twins, Bella & Donna. They currently reside at Mrs. Blathersby's Orphanage (MRSBO) and cannot wait to come home with you. A little history about Bella & Donna. They have only been with MRSBO now a few months. They are very quiet and take excellent care of their plant "Lulu" (we think they are calling it "Lulu" but it comes out "roo-roo"), You know, now that I think about it, ever since they arrived with that plant, I swear we no longer have any problems with vermin (not that MRSBO is plagued with pestilence) or stray cats either. Weird, huh? But I digress, the twins are very neat. One would never know they were just in a room. They make their beds, wash their dishes and do all of their chores without ever having be told to do so. Bella & Donna are only four years old and require very little in life. All they need is a loving home (preferably one without pets or younger children). Besides, just look at those darling faces. How can you resist?

On a side note, it is not that big of a deal really; however, it is worth mentioning. I strongly recommend that you do not try to take away their plant. Sister Mary Mole from the Order of the Holy Wretched tried to throw away their plant "Lulu" one day and, thankfully, now has recovered the use of her right hand. So whatever you do, leave Lulu alone. It really is not anything to worry yourself about.
