Chapter: I Oscar Delancey
"Oscar! Come here." Wiesel demands of his eldest nephew. Oscar Delancey walks in wearing his usual outfit. He is out of breath and is with younger brother, Morris. They enter and sit in the dimly lit room where his Uncle has summed him.
"Cowboy is ours next time." He puffs out to his brother who has heard the line before.
"I have to talk to ya so be quiet and listen up." Wiesel stands in front of the boys, and continues.
"Long ago a little after your parents died I found out that they had an agreement with the Riker's. Your mother and Marian Riker were both pregnant at the same time, and said when the children were to grow up given that one is a boy and the other a girl, they would be married. Oscar, you are eighteen. I will carry out your mother's wishes. If you refuse you will no longer have a job here and I will do everything, or anything in my power to make you fulfill her wishes."
"Are you kiddin'? Dis is great I'll have a girl that has to whatever I say."
"What if she's a dog? You're gonna be stuck wid her." Morris laughs.
"Shud up." He punches his brother in the shoulder.
"She's a nice girl and when she comes I want you two both to be nice to her. You got that?"
"We'll be nice to her alright." Morris says with a devious grin.
