Harold was very different from ordinary children. Harold’s parents wanted to keep Mr. Bramble’s profession a well guarded secret from him. Harold was made to believe the fiction that his father was a commercial traveller. They didn’t want Harold to die of ‘disgrace’ by knowing the truth that his father was a man of ‘wrath’ and a bloody boxer.
