Mother’s Day
Who is Cyril? What is his attitude towards his mother?
Cyril is the masculine counterpart of Doris. He is also ‘spoilt’ like his sister. He is in the habit of treating his mother very casually. He asks if tea is ready. When Mrs Pearson says ‘no’, he angrily answers back: “Why not”? Then he orders: “Did you put my things out ?” So he makes his mother run all the time doing one thing or the other.
