Chapter 6 Summary

Jamie persuades Landon to visit Mr. Jenkins, the orphanage director, and ask whether they can put on the play. As Landon does not feel smartly dressed enough, he tells Jamie he needs to go home and change. She walks with him to his house and marvels at the lavishness which he takes for granted. Landon’s mother, who is also home, is amazed when Jamie tells her that the idea of putting on the play for the orphans is Landon’s.

On the way to the orphanage, when Jamie asks Landon what he wants to do with his life, but he does not know. She suggests that he become a minister, a situation which he refutes, politely. Jamie then admits that her sole wish is to get married in a packed church and have her father walk her down the aisle.

At the orphanage, Mr. Jenkins decides that the topic of the play is unsuitable for the orphans because it will remind them of the parental love they are missing. Jamie is saddened, and Landon realizes for the first time that “she had lots of different emotions […] she was just like the rest of us” (74).

Landon agrees to stay and play with the orphans for an hour.
