He revels in his ability to nag and manipulate the members of his household, who appear to endure his tyrannical demeanor in silence.

Amidst discussions of wealth and inheritance, tensions build as Henrietta's health declines, hinting at deeper issues related to her family's financial battles and her strained relationships with her relatives.
