...stirred up flurries of controversy by doing away with report cards and never punishing his pupils. Later, as a professor of mathematics at Georgia's Baptist Mercer University, he stirred up more controversy by admitting that he did not believe in the Virgin birth. After a three-day theological trial before the trustees, he was forced to resign. Some months after that, he headed north to Columbia...
...Three restful days at Eagle's Crest were Elizabeth's and Philip's preparation for the most strenuous week of their tour. In the next four days, they sped eastward across 2,500 miles of Canada to see, and be seen by, more cheering Canadian crowds.

Worst of all, he is sorely tormented by his prisoner's sadistic singing of a ballad that summons up the marshal's old guilt complex over the death of his father...
