"...his father’s devotion to Meshie at the expense of his family caused great heartache. ... His father he remembers as a harsh, domineering man, who punished his son with a razor strop, left his family for long periods to go exploring, and was affectionate only with the chimp.

'I can’t think of him ever giving anybody a hug, except Meshie,' [said Harry] Raven."
