Papa was a total dope! If your adolescent daughter hates an older man who "takes a liking to her," listen to her damnit! This father should be buds with the father in the Balfour family series who cures his daughters of being party girls by giving them into the sole custody of arrogant man-whores. On another note, the ML's step-father was a good deal responsible for the dis-function of "his" family. As a "proud Greek man" he married the mother and kicked the son, who had been working frantically to provide for the four women in the family, to the curb. This is basically telling the ML (who was quite young and earnest) that THEY are MY family now, and you can get lost. In other words, "You're NOT my family and now you're useless to the mother and sisters you've loved and taken care of all your life."
