                 Explain the irony in the story 'Keeping It From Harold'?

    Answer:

                      The story 'Keeping It From Harold' is about the parents, Jane Bramble and Bill Bramble, who hide a secret of Bill being a professional boxer from Harold, their son, because of the fear that after knowing the truth, he would be hurt and would not like his father as a boxer. But the irony cames at the and of the chapter when Harold came to know about the secret and surprised everybody by saying that he used his pocket money for betting on the defeat of Murray, Bill's opponent. Harold always admired 'Young Porky'. It is ironical that he used to bet on the boxers without knowing that he himself was the son of a famous boxer.
