Quote #1
Father wears a dirty,
oil-soaked monkey suit
that cuts him under the arms, (7-9)
The apparent head of the family, and head of the station, wears a dirty suit that's too small for him. This might mean he doesn't care about what he looks like, or more likely, that he can't afford a better suit. This tells us the family might be a poor one.
