It was bad enough for that niece of ours to be left a penniless orphan with only the two uncles to look after her and both of us bachelors. And now, after he has been shaping Elinor Wream's life until she is ready for college, he sends her out here to me, frankly declaring that she is too much for him. She always was."
"One other thing I may mention. You know my niece, Elinor? I've been out here so long, I may need your help in making her feel at home at first." There was a new light in Burgess's eyes at the mention of Elinor Wream's name. "Oh, yes, I know Miss Elinor very well. I shall need her more to make me feel at home than she will need me."
Why should Joshua Wream's conscience be his burden, too? Then he hated himself a little more than ever, and duty and manly honor began their wrestle within him again. "Let's we go see the pigeons," Bug suggested, tossing his ball in his hands. Burgess remembered what Bond had said of the woman's leaving. There could be no harm in going inside, he thought.
And yet it might be well to stay in Kansas for a year or two much better to settle any possible difficulty here than to have anything follow him East later. For Burgess had his eye on Dr. Wream's chair in Harvard when the old man should give it up. That was a part of the contract between the two men, the old doctor and the young professor.
