But if her son were to become president, what would these hardships amount to?
She, Eleanor Spencer Atkinson, would also have her name written in history, something she dared not even dream about in the past.
Even if her son didn't become president, having her brother become governor would be a tremendous joy for her. With her family's support, her life in Atkinson Manor would be smoother, even without Daniel Atkinson's love, she could still earn the respect of other members of the Atkinson family clan.
On balance, it's all good news. The premise is that her son is willing to marry the young girl before them.
Eleanor asked, "Are you sure that the column of marriage registration between Gem and Forsythia Brown states 'divorced'?"
"Yes."
"Good, very good. Gem is not muddle-headed. He knows that the marriage of the family head must go through the branches of Atkinson family."
