It's not like his father had run away to the circus, or got a job in a house of ill-repute, or became (gasp) an actor. Mr. and Mrs. Asa Eastman were helping people. In those days many people stopped their education at a certain point and never went further. George was well-spoken, eager to learn and appreciative of help from the family. He had ideas to improve the company yet didn't push excessively.
shareHe was poor. This is America.
shareGeorge was not the same social strata...Angela Vickers is upper crust and is expected tl spend her days caring for babies, going to social events and keeping up appearances. If she marries poor, she'll be a laughingstocks in her community. She'll have to live on the "other side of the tracks".
shareGeorge was the poor relation in a rich influential family, George's parents were itinerant street preachers and he was from a totally different world.
