Harold
was much upset that his mother and father had secrete the truth about
his father’s profession, that Bill was a heavy weight boxer. He
was told that his father was a commercial traveller who took orders
from various shops, etc. However, now that he knew that ‘Young
Porky’ was none other than his own father, he felt happy and
upset.
(1)
Harold was a studious child. However, he was interested in sports
too. He had bet his friend Dicky Saundres that Jimmy Murphy won’t
last ten rounds even against Young Porky, and now that Bill was not
going to fight. Harold was sad that after saving all his pocket money
to bet on such a good thing and now his father won’t fight it.
(2)
Harold felt sad that the truth was concealed and secreted from him.
He felt bad for he was not able to show off about his own father
being ‘Young Porky’. He could have made all the lads in
his school jealous of the fact. He was sad for a boy in his school
once got an autograph of Phill Scott and another boy got a snapshot
of Jimmy Wilde, and here, he never even knew about his own father’s
truth. Had the guys at his school known that his father was the heavy
weight boxer, they would not have dared to bully him and tease him
‘Goggles’. Harold even requested Bill if he could give
him a picture of him fighting.
