The last thing Jem had expected was for someone to offer to help him, but he was grateful that someone had. "Thank you," He adjusted the stack of books as best he could so that his arms would 't start to go to sleep, "I think what I really need is a bag. I suppose I'll have to figure out which box I packed that in when I get home," While Jem had spent the weekend getting settled in at his cousin's house, he hadn't completely unpacked just yet. "I'm James Carstairs, by the way, but most everyone calls me Jem." It had been his mother who had first started calling him Jem and after awhile it just started sounding more right than James.
