  Ben appreciates grandfather saying 'its a good thing he did'. Later he calls him a 'drunken old beggar'. Why does he change his opinion about grandfather?

Answer:

                  Ben changes his opinion about the grandfather when the family discusses that he always hangs out in the' 'Ring-o-Bells' pub and that he may have not paid the premium and it is overdue. That is why he calls him a 'drunken old beggar'.
