Elijah didn't want to discuss this. He frowned and looked down. "He.. came to me .. several times because he didn't want to be home. And, he admitted to a lot of things. Things I know you would never have accepted. I .. tried to help him go to York. He wanted to get a job there that could help him get money to send home to help you guys out. He just thought he couldn't be happy at home, and it really looked like things were getting worse and were going to explode. I thought letting him go out on his own was the answer, that perhaps he'd return after a few months or a year.'
