Do you think that Richard Keith was more of a family brother/cousin or brother in-law to Mrs. Keith? Mrs. Keith could have referred to him as her brother as in brother in-law or good friend. It would make more sense for him to be her brother in-law than to be a brother with the same surname. It has never been mentioned with a possesive adjective that he is her brother. The book only states that she has a brother in British Columbia. It would also explain why he lives far away from her as he doesn't seem to be close to her. She was closer to Marilla than she was to him.
