In a letter to her brother and his wife asking them to come for the children, their mother warns, "Fanny sometimes loses her temper... I'm afraid her brother tends to be proud and arrogant". The children are unaccustomed to the modest treatment they receive on the farm. The wise uncle uses the roots of a weed in his field as a parable for teaching George and Fanny to rid the root of sin from their own lives.
