Marissa suggested, “It would be far too harsh to expel Uncle Rex from the Nash family or have him kneel in the ancestral hall for more than twenty years. Instead, I propose he kneels for just two hours each day. He’ll still be free the rest of the time and receive his monthly allowance.” Rex was overwhelmed with gratitude at her words, his eyes brimming with tears, and he opened his mouth to express his thanks.
