The 'Carril'

Colored illustration of an old man, a little boy, and a woman around a table of lard cakes. The boy is standing straight and singing; the woman smiles.

Mrs. Winthrop and her young son, Aaron, visit Silas Marner after his robbery. She brings her famous lard cakes and has Aaron sing a Christmas carol for Silas in an effort to offer comfort.
