“A sad childhood—worse than mine.” “I disagree. Nobody was cruel to me and I got all the animal warmth and affection I needed from Sir Colin’s dogs. He always had several of them.”
Our man character feels pity for Godwin. Godwin swears he had a good childhood nonetheless. His comment about how the only warmth and love he recieved came from dogs just shows how cold his father was to him. The worst part is that Godwin doesn't realize how messed up that is.
