This couple, the man was proud, and the woman was gentle, especially Sofia Anderson was relatively young, looking like in her early forties, giving a feeling of an older husband and younger wife.
Emma Smith was a bit confused, not sure how to greet them. Instead, it was Robert Thomson who gently introduced her: "Come, Emma, let me introduce you. These two are my parents, whom you have met. These two are my uncle and aunt. This is my cousin."
"And me!" exclaimed Oliver.
With a stiff smile, Emma greeted them: "Uncle, aunt, Mr. Thomson, Mrs. Thomson..." Seeing Oliver eager to join in, she called out again: "And Oliver, hello everyone."
Henry Thomson and Sofia Anderson also returned recently. Before coming back, they had heard from their son that Robert Thomson had a woman he liked, and they got along well, but she was of lower status.
