Eric

• 'Not quite at ease, half shy, half assertive'
• '(who is uneasy, sharply)'
• 'I was in that state when a chap easily turns nasty – and I threatened to make a row'
• 'Because you're not the kind of father a chap could go to when he's in trouble – that's why.'
• 'You don't understand anything. You never did. You never even tried'
• 'You told us that a man has to make his own way, look after himself and mind his own business […] I didn't notice you told him that it's every man for himself'
• 'I didn't notice you standing up to him.'
