 Mr and Mrs Bramble were immensely proud of their son Harold. Harold was ten years old, a prodigy and an exceptional child by all standards. An intellectual, he won prizes in competitions. He was very classy and so superior that even his parents developed a complex. Harold was a model of excellent behaviour and he respected his parents a lot. Mr Bramble was a professional boxer and had been proud of his fame but ever since Harold was born, he had kept this as a secret. Harold was told that his father was a commercial traveller. Mr Bramble who had thrived on his feats in the boxing ring, trembled to see his name in print now. Both Mr and Mrs Bramble were secretly a little afraid of their son and did not wish to fall in his esteem. Mr Bramble was already thirty-one years old and he had decided to have his last boxing match and then retire. A week away, Bill Bramble was scheduled to have his last fight, the twenty-round contest with American Murphy at the National Sporting Club, for which he was training at the White Hart down the road.
Mrs Bramble sends Harold for a walk but she is surprised to see her husband and her brother, Major Percy Stokes in the doorway. She is shocked to know that Bill has decided not to fight and there is lot of discussion regarding his decision with Percy Stokes. Mrs Bramble makes it clear that this step was unacceptable to her, even if she did not like her husband's profession. Bill Bramble was supposed to win five hundred pounds, and one hundred and twenty, even if he lost. This money was very much needed to cater to Harold's education. The trainer, Jerry Fisher, enters at this juncture and he is also shocked to discover that Bill has decided to back out at the eleventh hour.
Jerry begs, pleads, cries and tempts Bill but he is steadfast in his decision because this fight will be covered by all newspapers and Harold will discover this secret. Tempers are running high, and at this critical moment, Harold makes his entry. Mr Jerry Fisher feels cheated, he wants his revenge. So he spills over the entire story to Harold, despite all opposition. Bill feels let down in front of his son and tells him frankly that he was not a man of wrath but just a professional boxer and he is withdrawing from his last match. Harold who had been watching all, suddenly surprises everyone. He is angry with his parents for hiding this secret but the content of his speech takes everyone's breath away. Harold reveals that he was betting
his pocket money on the defeat of Jimmy Murphy and his friends would have been awefully proud of him, had they known that his father was 'Young Porky'. He even requests for a photograph of his father to impress his friends. This talk encourages Jerry Fischer and Bill also goes to complete his training. Harold reverts back to playing games with his mother and continues with his affectionate chat.

Keeping It From Harold by P.G.Wodehouse is a story about worried parents of Harold, an exceptionally brilliant ten years old child. Human mind sometimes travels beyond the possible and imagines and fears more than necessary. Harold had defied the Bramble laws of hereditary by excelling in academics rather than in sports. His father was a professional heavy weight boxer while he, at the age of 10, had taken the spelling and dictation prize last term on his head. A spectacled child who was so devoted to his books, such a model of behaviour, so altogether admirable. And it was this that prevented his parents, who were lovers of truth, to conceal the fact of his father's profession. When Harold was a baby, it had not mattered much. However, when he grew up with such a fine intellect, into a model of goodness, even the senior curate of the parish suggested Mrs. and Mr. Bramble to keep the truth from Harold. It was a possible negative effect on his academics and the idea of the fact bringing embarrassment to Harold that everybody feared, made them all to behave in such a fashion.

Mrs.Bramble was too much 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 then. Mrs.Bramble even remarked that the education they have provided to Harold was as good as education provided to a Duke. Just that day her brother Major Percy came with Bill Bramble breaking the news that Bill was not to fight the final fight with the American Murphy. The news drowned Mrs. Bramble into sorrow as the fight was going to earn him five hundred pounds. Even if he lost, he would have been given a hundred and twenty pounds. The money would have been enough for them to give Harold a good start in his education. 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. The news of him quitting the fight broke all her hopes of a better tomorrow.

The climax of the story is filled with chaos and irony. Mr. Bramble's coach, Jerry Fisher, in anger, spilled the truth of his father's profession in front of Harold. However, the reaction of Harold, when the truth was revealed, took all by surprise. Harold felt so proud that it was his father after all who was named Young Pork. Irony here was the fact that he was upset and annoyed that his parents had kept the truth from him all the while.

WHAT IS THE MORAL OF THE CHAPTER KEEPING IT FROM HAROLD?

@Inam...... The moral is to never lie, or hide the truth from our loved ones no matter how embarrasing or shameful it is. You never know how they might react as in the case of Harold.

  1.  Harold disliked his mother’s  habit of referring to herself in the third person as it sounded as though she were talking to a baby.He considered himself to be a brilliant and talented young man of ten who deserved to be addressed in a more formal and respectable manner .Hence this habit of hers irritated him.
  2. Harold was very different from ordinary children.He was so devoted to his books and such a model of behaviour.He was altogether admirable. Harold’s  parents wanted to keep Mr Bramble’s profession a well guarded secret from him. Harold was made to believe the fiction that his father,known among Londoners as ‘young porky’,was a commercial traveller.They didn’t  want Harold  to die of ‘disgrace’by knowing the truth that his father was a man of ‘wrath’.
  3. Bramble decided if the baby was a boy he would name him ‘john’after  Mr John L Sullivan, a 19th c American boxing legend and if it was a girl he would name her ‘Marie’after Music hall artist Miss Marie Lloyd.He thought of the first name, as he had a passion for boxing and the second name as he wished his daughter to be as renowned as this artist.
  4. Mr Bramble was an excellent man and nobody ‘could help liking him’.  He was a professional boxer better known as ‘young porky’.There was not a boxer in London whom he could not overcome in a 20 round contest. He was famous for his left hook. But he was a very considerate self sacrificing and diffident character.He thought that it would be a great disgrace to his genius son Harold if he knew that his father was a professional boxer. He could sacrifice his name ,fame and money not to ‘disgrace’ Harold.
  5. Mrs Bramble like professional boxing nor did she want Harold to know that his father was a boxer. But she was upset when she came to hear that Bill had decided not to fight. Big money was involved in the fighting. The winner was to get 500 pounds and even the looser was to get 120 pounds . Boxing had earned good money for the family and made possible to give Harold a good education. That money could give Harold a better start in life than they had ever had.
  6. Mr Jerry Fisher was a boxing cach and a trainer at the White Hart. He was a hard trainer . Bill’s  fight with Jimmy Murphy was going to be a national affair.He was proud of Bill and was sure of his victory .He was shocked to know that Bill had given up the idea of fighting.He tried to convince Bill not to give up the fight for the sake of the money, fans,name and fame.
  7. Jerry Fisher was in violent emotions when Bill decided not to fight with Jimmy Murphy at the 11th hour. Bill stuck to his decision. Jerry Fisher now disliked Bill and what he wanted most at the moment was revenge. The best way of taking revenge was to disclose Bill’s real identity to his son Harold .He disclosed that Bill was not a commercial traveler but a professional boxer,popularily known as ‘young porky’.
  8. Harold calls his parents’ efforts to keep his father’s real profession a secret from him as something rotten because it had deprived him an opportunity to feel special and distinguished as the son of the famous boxer ‘young porky’. His schoolmates would have held him in awe and respect and no one would have dared to call him ‘Goggles’, had they known the truth. Moreover, he was likely to lose a 2 coin bt with a classmate. Harold also felt bad about not being told his father’s  real identity as it had denied him the opportunity of ‘swanking’ among his friends that could have given a boost to his status among his schoolmates.
  9. Harold ‘s parent’s decision of hiding from him the fact that his father was a boxer was not correct.They thought that Harold would die of disgrace if he came to know that his father was a man of wrath and called ‘young porky’. The truth was the other way around. Harold was deeply interested in boxing and had betted 2 shillings that Jimmy Murphy would not last ten rounds against ‘young porky’.It was a dramatic irony that his parents hid from hom the fact of which he could swanh like anything
