Honesty was also a feature of Ethan. He was honest to his marriage and to himself. He didn’t do anything with Matty silver but he was honest about the fact that he loved her. He didn’t try to deny his love from himself, but admitted it.

manhunt [for Ralph], the reader realizes that despite the strong sense
of British character and civility that has been instilled in the youth

III. CHARACTERS
