Clara Portland
Clara lived at Jack Allen's
orphanage. Her only company was "Mr. Chuckleford," her stuffed rabbit,
until Whit came. She grew to like "Mr.
Whit" as she called him when he visited and wanted him to adopt her. But
Jack had not told Whit that Clara's adoption papers had already been
signed by Peter & Peggy Portland. Clara didn't want to leave with the
Portlands, but finally agreed. Whit got very upset at Jack and told him
he never wanted to see him again, but later apologized and asked him to
stay, and Jack accepted.
