One thing that he does do, which seems to create some tension amongst the family members, is that he

As we said, he's a landlord in the city and he owns lots and lots of properties that he rents out, mostly to people working in the factories.

But he actually gifts some of these properties

Two members of Abby's family, the stepmother's family.

And there's some tension there, maybe, between the daughters and their stepmother, in that their inheritance seems to be being diluted and given away to this this new side of the family that's married into the wealth.

So there's already some problems, and those are not the only issues.

So we know, for example, that even though they all live under the same roof

Andrew eats separately with his wife, and his two daughters, who, let's not forget our grown adults themselves, don't eat at the table with them.

Which is potentially a little bit odd.

I can understand maybe children not eating with their parents in this period, and certainly that would be the case earlier on, for wealthier families.

It feels a bit strange not to do that

with adult daughters.

The other thing to say is that he has some quite strange behaviours.

So in the months before these murders take place, and we're going to get into them in a little bit,

Andrew decides to go outside to the yard at the back of the house, where Lizzie has built a wooden roost for some pigeons that she is

Just keeping his pets?

And he

takes a hatchet to the roost, he chops it up, and he actually kills the pigeons that are in it.

Unclear why, but of course Lizzie is very, very, very upset by this.

So there's a sort of strange a strange violence in the household, actually.
