Schillings family made Adeline feel that she was a part of their family and she was equal to everyone. Schilling's children felt sad when Adeline was not shopping and sight-seeing with them.
Adeline was the fifth youngest of the Yen family. As mother passed away as soon as she was born so this brought animosity among the other sisters.
Adeline lauds the brother-sister relationship exhibited by the Schillings children. She was very compassionate with James, the third brother of the Schilling's family.
