(2) 4-6 In this dark, Dickensian tale set in a bleak English mill town, Lucas Bell and Anna-Marie Murgatroyd, heirs to a fortune being gambled away by their guardian Sir Randolph Grimsby, are forced out onto the streets to make a living when their home burns to the ground. Lord Randolph is a study in greed, and the hand-to-mouth existence the orphans experience is vividly drawn.
