Solution

Mrs. Bramble was also concerned about Harold coming to know about his father’s profession. However, there were other concerns too that she was worried about. Although Mrs. Bramble never liked Mr. Bramble’s profession but the fact remained that it earned them a good deal of money, which made it easy for them to provide Harold with the best of education till now. Mrs. Bramble even remarked that the education they have provided to Harold was as good as education provided to a Duke. The final fight that Mr. Bramble was to fight with the American Murphy was going to earn him five hundred pounds. Even if he lost, still he would have been given a hundred and twenty pounds that would have been enough for them to Harold a good start. Mrs. Bramble was so upset about how she was to manage her son’s education. Her financial worries were disturbing her deeply. She was so sure of the money that Mr. Bramble was to bring home the next week over his victory she was already celebrating in her heart and the news of him quitting the fight broke all her hopes of a better tomorrow.
