Question

What made Mrs.Bramble so proud of giving birth to a child prodigy? (CHAPTER-KEEPING IT FROM HAROLD)

Answer 1

 Mrs. Bramble was proud of her prodigy son, Harold. Harold was so different from ordinary children, so devoted to his books, such a model of behaviour, so altogether admirable. Unlike his father who was a perfect epitome of physical strength and alacrity, Harold had shown extraordinary signs of intelligence and goodness in his behavior. He was academically brilliant; he had already won two prizes at the Sunday-school and a dictation and spelling prize at school.
