His father took him home , warmed and fed him and healed his bruises , though after such extreme bad conduct , he could not esteem and caress him like a good child . It was happy for Frank Lawless that he took the warning of that day . He had gained nothing but shame , pain , and sorrow by his choice of wicked friends , and from that time he chose with more wisdom . Good conduct brought him back to his father 's favour , and now at ten o'clock at night , when the moon and stars were shining in the sky , and the air was cold and frosty , Frank Lawless was always snug in bed , like the rest of the good children of the little village of Newton . -LSB- 3 -RSB- -LSB- 2 -RSB- One drawback to bringing Frank 's father into the story is that he , in spite of his character , has to be called Lawless too . -LSB- 3 -RSB- There is one error in this story which perhaps it is worth while to point out . Birds ' - nesting and orchard-robbing are not in season together .
