The Diamond as Big as the Ritz
Braddock Washington is the patriarch of the Washington family and the most extreme example of its arrogance and self-importance, Braddock Washington is a cold, unfeeling man who is “utterly uninterested in any ideas or opinions except his own.” He views people as either assets or liabilities, calculating what use can be made of them or what obstacle they might present.
