This title is part of the 2010 Advent Calendar: Naughty or Nice On Boxing Day, young Gerard Greville’s mother insists that he accompany her on her holiday visits to the servants and the less fortunate, as a lesson in charity. It’s then that Gerard briefly meets Matthias Dunn, a young boy of the servant class. But his short time with Mattie makes a huge impression, and ten years later, Gerard becomes determined to reconnect with him—despite the chasm between their social classes—and discover why Mattie has been so long in his thoughts.
