Harry does not help around the house, expecting Pen to raise the children and maintain the home while he comes and goes as he pleases. Harry Rodger is a selfish and self-centered man incapable of caring for his children and deaf to his wife's pleas for assistance. Rodger is less than fond of Lady Helen, his sister-in-law and even less fond of Inspector Lynley.
