Hey There,
Here's Is The Full Story Explanation ==

Para 1 … This is a scene in Bill Bramble’s house. The gifted son Harold sits at the table and addresses his mother, Mrs. Bramble, “Ma!”. She is a nice little woman with a rather mediocre brain, who dotes on her academically brilliant son. For her, the world revolves around her husband, Mr. Bill Bramble and her son Harold. Harold has a book kept open on the red table cloth of the table. He is somewhat lost in thought, reading the book.Para 2 .. The mother lovingly answers, “Yes, dearie?’.Para 3 … Harold asks, “Will you hear me?”Para 4 … Mrs. Bramble took the book.Para 5 .. She answers, “Yes, mother will hear you, precious.” Mrs. Bramble had developed the habit of answering her son in the third person, perhaps as a show of her excessive affection towards him.Para 6. .. Harold was growing up. He was not comfortable at the way his mother addressed him in the third person, which implied that she still treated him as a baby.
He frowns, being discomforted with her mother’s response.
Para 7 … Harold clears his throat and fixes his gaze on the cut-glass chandelier hanging from the ceiling.Para 8 … Harold recites the first line of the poem, “Be good, sweet maid.” It was devoid of emotion.Para 9 … Mrs. Bramble is worried at the hard work put in by Harold for his studies. Sympathizing with her studious son, she advises him to go for a half an hour saunter down the river side to refresh himself.Para 10 …. Harold thought over his mother’s suggestion and decided to abide by her advice. He quietly stepped out of the front door.Para 11 … Harold was an extraordinarily gifted child. He was impeccable in his manners too. Mrs. Bramble often wondered how she could have given birth to such an admirable child, when neither her husband nor she had even a fraction of Harold’s intellectual caliber. But her elation was also shrouded by sadness. Harold’s father was in a profession that was not befitting for a boy like Harold. This mismatch between Harold’s all round goodness and his father’s perceived lowly profession disturbed both Mrs. And Mr. Bramble. With a sense of guilt and indignation, they decided to keep this fact away from Harold. However, she felt mean and distressed with her act of camouflage.Para 12 … When Harold was a baby, this fact never bothered the parents. But, he grew up to a fine, well-behaved boy. His blossoming talent became evident when he won two prizes at the Sunday school. When the Bramble’s were in the midst of this dilemma, the curate of the local parish came into suggest that the nature of Bramble’s job must be hidden from Harold.Despite the huge popularity of boxing among the people, it was perceived to be rather a boorish sport, not meant for the gentry.Para 13 … The situation headed for the worse when Major Percy Stokes, brother of Mrs. Bramble, dropped in for a cup of tea. He was a man who was given to speaking boastfully and indiscreetly. During the chat, he spoke in a rather demeaning tone about Bramble’s profession. Percy took this opportunity to remind his sister to make all efforts to ensure that Harold never got to know of his father’s profession.Para 14 .. Mr. Bramble, an embodiment of civility and politeness, readily succumbed to the persuasiveness of Major Stokes. Bramble had always been like this. When Harold was born, he did not insist on the name chosen prior to the birth. Instead he gave the name Harold to the baby boy because his wife wanted so.
