That Last Waif; or, Social Quarantine is a work by Horace Fletcher. Fletcher was an American food faddist and author, here appealing for better support of children born into unfortunate and poor environments. Excerpt: "Social Quarantine is of first importance because a strict recognition of it applied to children during the habit-forming period of their growth will render greatest aid to morals and religion and also to health. An appreciation of God and that stimulating, rational and healthful reverence for good that constitutes true religion must needs follow as a natural result of Perfect Moral and Social Quarantine."

A struggling widow’s new employment comes with a handsome benefit in this dramatic Regency romance. When a destitute governess faints on Sir Edward Greaves’s threshold, chivalry demands that he offer her temporary shelter. However, the desire Ned feels when he catches her in his arms isn’t at all gentlemanly. . . . With her large, troubled eyes and slender frame, Joanna Merrill calls to something deep inside this guarded man. For one who has purposely shunned the conniving beauties of London society, just how much is Ned risking by having this intriguing woman under his roof . . . ? Praise for From Waif to Gentleman’s Wife “An enjoyable read with absorbing characters and a slice of English history.” —Debbie Macomber, #1 New York Times–bestselling author “Justiss not only sets her expertly crafted story in the English countryside in the midst of industrialization but she also authentically portrays ordinary people, whose lives do not center around the ton, thus giving this Regency historical a delightfully different twist.” —Booklist “Emotionally charged and heartwarming, as two lonely hearts fall in love, only to be ripped asunder by secrets and betrayal.” —Romantic Times
Robert Stevenson's "The Waif Woman" was unpublished at the time of his death; it was found among his papers. Writing of the fables which Stevenson began before he had left England and "attacked again, and from time to time added to their number" in 1893, Mr. Balfour (author of the Life of Stevenson) says: "The reference to Odin [Fable XVII] perhaps is due to his reading of the Sagas, which led him to attempt a tal in the same style, called 'The Waif Woman.'""The Waif Woman" by Robert Louis Stevenson.
