Question

why was Mrs. bramble upset when she came to here that bill had decided not to fight

Answer 1

Although Mrs. Bramble did not like her husband’s profession as a boxer, she didn’t want him to quit because it earned them good money and made it possible for them to educate Harold.If he beat Murphy in the final match, he would win prize money of five hundred pounds.Even if he lost, he would still get a hundred and twenty, and this money would have been a blessing because it was enough to give Harold a better start in life.
