Eric

• Secret drinker

  His whole manner of handling the drink. Shows his familiarity with quick heavy drinking
• Insightful

  He was our police inspector all right
• Took advantage of Daisy/Eva

  I couldn't remember her name
• Unsupported

  You're not the kind of father a chap could go to when he's in trouble
• Supportive

  I insisted on giving her enough money to keep her going
• Aggressive

  (Nearly at breaking point) (Fights with Mrs B about blame)
• Rejecting class

  I don't feel like sitting down and having a nice chat
• Blame

  It's what we did to her that matters
• Speaks up-"He could have kept here on instead of throwing her out"
• "Why shouldn't they try for higher wages?"
• Remorse-"You lot may be letting yourselves out nicely, but I can't"
• Accusatory-(To mother)"You killed them both"
• "I was in a state where a chap easily turns nasty"
