I've got a copy of Isabel Maud Peacocke's *Robin of the Round House* (1918) if anyone wants it.

Peacocke was a contemporary of Ethel Turner and Mary Grant Bruce, though writing for a slightly more mature audience. Una and Sylvia are distressed gentlewomen acting as typists when they come into a small inheritance and move into a little house of their own. They adopt Robin, who turns out to be the son of Sylvia's widowed suitor who she then marries.

The book comes complete with recommendations for other Ward Locke books the reader might like - by Turner and Bruce.
