(i) Before going to his office:
Kezia’s father would usually go into her room to give her a casual kiss before leaving for work. Kezia would say “Goodbye, Father,” and felt relieved after he left, as she was afraid of him259.
(ii) After coming back from his office:
He would order for tea to be brought into the drawing room. He also asked for the newspaper and his slippers, and instructed Kezia to pull off his boots and leave them outside25910. He generally relaxed by having tea and reading the newspaper.
(iii) On Sundays:
Kezia’s father would stretch out on the sofa in the drawing room, cover his face with a handkerchief, put his feet on one of the cushions, and sleep soundly, often snoring. During this time, her mother would be reading, and Kezia would quietly watch her father until he woke up
