Miss Esther's Guest
In Miss Esther's Guest, Miss Esther has decided to perform an act of charity and allow a poor elderly city dweller to visit for a week; but she wasn't expecting a man. The result is some comedic occurrences but the story shows community support for lonely humans, as was the base for many of Jewett's stories.
