Richard Keith

Richard Keith
Richard Keith was the brother of Mary Keith, and the uncle of Davy and Dora Keith. Richard, upon hearing of Mary's death, told Marilla Cuthbert, guardian of the children for the time being, that he would take them. Fall, winter and spring passed... and still no sign of Richard. When Marilla got a letter concerning the twins, Anne was worried they would have to send them to Richard. But apparently, there was no Richard to send them to. Richard had died.

The twins were little worried over their Uncle's death... they had never met him. Dora's only fear was that he would be like Mirabel Cotton's uncle.
