"Women use children to snare fathers ...."
So that was how Lisa appeared to Fraser Lamont--as a pestering woman who was using his child to ingratiate herself with him. The egotistical conceit of the man!

But why should he bother her? She had no interest in him, but she was beginning to love little Johnnie. Surely there was no question of "like son, like father"?
