Solution and Explanation

Bessie's justifications for boosting old Hagberd's irrational hopes are as follows:
1) First, she advised Harry to persuade old Hagberd that he is merely his son and return him to his normal state.
2) Second, Harry Hagberd stated, "He isn't frisky—is he?" I'd be terrified of grabbing him. Then she told Harry, to support old Hagberd's foolish hope, "Old Hagberd was the most harmless creature that ever lived."
