He never knew his German grandad. And his own dad barely knew his deserting father. There may be a level of lingering tribal dislike of Bavaria that was passed down the family to excuse his Pimp grandad. And then there are unexplained questions about his mum; a poor, semi-literate Highlander, without two h'pennies, who found the money to cross the Atlantic not once, but twice, apparently while working as a scrubber. And was suddenly attending parties with New York's up and coming rich classes, where I suspect barely anyone understood her. But maybe her accent didn't matter at those sorts of parties.
