The Lamplighter
Authorship not stated
You play Gerty, eight years old, unwanted, and shoeless in the house of Nan Grant, who begrudges every meal. The lamplighter Trueman Flint knocks you down by accident, then returns each evening with kindness, and finally a kitten. When Nan scalds the kitten to death and throws you into a freezing night, Trueman finds you half-conscious and takes you in for good, promising a home just as another child arrives at the door.
