Question

what was harold told about his father profesion and why?

Answer 1

Harold was told that his father’s profession was commercial travelling. Harold’s parents told this lie because they did not want their son to be affected in any manner by Mr. Bramble's profession of boxing. After consideration and discussing with the Curate and Uncle Percy, they decided to hide the truth about his father's profession. Mrs. and Mr. Bramble worked so hard in keeping the secret about Mr. Bramble’s profession of boxing hidden from him. They did so because they feared the truth would interfere with Harold’s healthy growth and development.
