Quote - "What do you think you're doing, old man?"

'We're supposed to be taking care of these kids - not leading them towards a life of crime!' Mr Griffs swiftly retorted, 'Well, at least it's a job. You know about the high unemployment rates at the moment. Besides, we have to stand up to bullies. Just like that man with the feather.' |

A line from Never Assume - the first story in The Absurd Tales of Mr Griffs series. 
In this scene Mrs Griffs catches her husband, Mr Griffs, throwing nuts all over the living room. He was busy teaching Ruby and Lucy, two young girls who they often babysit, to throw nuts and hit a target. 
​
Any guesses as to who Mr Griffs is talking about?
