From Christmas Candles: Plays for Boys and Girls by Elsie Hobart Carter

Does thee think, lad, that savage though thou art, I would drive thee out into the bitter night? No, there is too much Yule-tide in our hearts for that! I have no bed for thee, but lay thee down by the fire and welcome. Boys, bring in some straw for a bed---- Stay a moment. Straw will not do. A chance spark from the fire might light it, and burn the house above our heads. There is an old mat in the shed without. See if you can find it.. I told little Prudence she was too young to understand, yet with my years, am I quite sure that I understand it myself? No, the good Fathers can never crush and kill the loving Christmas spirit. Why should little children be joyous and glad on the holy day? Why should not I them to celebrate it? I believe--I do it! Boys, come here. Roger, what would thee and Myles say to a Christmas bough of our very own?
