The Far West
“My second reaction was to wish I were back out at the study center and away from all the talk that was certain to follow. William was practically family; Mama and Allie wouldn’t be any happier about him heading West than they’d been when Lan and Brant got invitations, only since William wasn’t around, they’d be able to fuss as much as they liked. And I didn’t want to think how Professor Graham was going to react.
Sure enough, when I got home from work, Papa was holed up in the study with Profes...sor Graham. Allie said Professor Graham was almost as upset by seeing William’s name on the expedition list as he’d been when he and William quit speaking to begin with. When I asked her what she meant, it turned out she hadn’t been home when he arrived, so she didn’t really know any more than I did. She was just guessing.
Papa and the professor came out just before dinner, and the professor didn’t look all that upset to me. Mama invited him to stay, but he declined politely. He wished us all a Merry Christmas and left.MoreLess
