Sorry-I was short cutting by trying to put it in a familiar context.

I am sure Lady Russel would have raised her eyebrows over these unconcerned parents but at the Musgroves no one seems to think or notice anything. Charles Musgrove hasn't even shown interest during the day-this is his son and heir. He might have learned his parenting at home-we must remember Poor Rishard. That makes for a less flattering view of the Musgroves I know.
