How did Bilquis describe her father in the memoir, I Dared to Call Him Father?

Bilquis describes her father as gentle and understanding. She says that he always had time to listen to her concerns as a child, and he was always impeccably dressed in conservative British suits. She said that he loved to call her Bilquis Sultana, knowing it was the name of the Queen of Sheba. It signified royalty.
