Money didn't come soon or easily for Elmer Walston and Mary E. Lake Leeper Walston, but they did eventually prosper. When Elmer died, there was land for the boys and money for the girls. Except Bert, who wasn't Elmer's child. Bitter, Bert asked his mother if the girls weren't upset, too. Mary's answer was that there wouldn't have been an inheritance or land to distribute if it hadn't been for a lifetime of hard work that the boys put in on the farm.

Bert had a career in the military and a trust fund from his father's insurance. The story concludes that he didn't come to his mother's funeral.
