Quote #1
His father, an ineffectual, inarticulate man with a taste for Byron and a habit of drowsing over the Encyclopedia Britannica, grew wealthy at thirty through the death of two older brothers. (1.1.1)
Amory's father wasn't much of a role model. The guy was a lazy dude who got rich because his two hardworking brothers died and left him their estates.
Quote #2
In consequence, Stephen Blaine handed down to posterity his height of just under six feet and his tendency to waver at crucial moments, these two abstractions appearing in his son Amory. (1.1.1)
The only things Amory really inherits from his dad are his height and his difficulty in making decisions. Thanks for all that, Dad.
