Hi all,

Someone from another board I am on is looking for a children's book from the 1970s. I figured I would ask here if anyone knew it.

"I have looked on numerous sites for help on finding a book I read years ago. A boy meets these two old ladies that are living in poverty. He brings them food and helps them around the house. One lady accepts his help, the other rejects it. They both quote Shakespeare a lot and he learns it so he can talk to them, it helps him do well in English class but his other subject's suffer because he's working to try and support them. Eventually he finds out the two ladies are actually the same person, the woman has dual personalities or is having fun with him. The lady dies in the end and leaves a fortune to the boy.

If anyone knows this book please let me know."

Any ideas?
