Who is talking about restraining Shelia?
I am merely pointing out the fact both children were closer to their dad.
It happens.
It's a matter of degree, though. Nevill, having been a magistrate, sensed his son's animosity, foretelling his own demise to farm secretary Barbara Wilson, and pouring his heart out to farmer John Seward. Sheila was away most of the time in London, but did rely on him for long telephone chats in the evening, though not buttressing her father in any practical way, albeit through no fault of her own.
