Dickens's Oliver Twist or Kipling's Mowgli

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orphan

(Other definitions for orphan that I've seen before include "Oliver?" , "One standing alone" , "little Annie, maybe?" , "Perhaps a case for adopting" , "One bereft of parents" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
