Rather a Person
-"Of course we don't normally all live together. The war and blitzes have brought that about - but I don't know -" she frowned reflectively - "perhaps spiritually the family has always lived together - under my grandfather's eye and protection. He's rather a Person, my grandfather. He's over eighty, about four foot ten, and everybody else looks rather dim beside him."=
1. Does UNDER...PROTECTION mean the family members pretend to be united when the grandfather is present?
2. Does RATHER A PERSON mean he is rather annoying or strange?
3. FOUR FOOT TEN is certainly not an impressive height; then why are peole dim beside him? Does it mean despite his shortness, his air of command makes people around him dim and suppress?
Thank you. OJ.
