      2. "You're not usually a silly girl, Queenie Buxton"

        3. Queenie's first impression of black person
          1. "A black man who looked to be carved from melting chocolate"

              1. She sees him as a different species - but not in a cruel way
                1. I think that this line makes her sound very intrigued

                      1. Perhaps like to think of themselves as a higher class than they really are
                      2. Queenie's father
                        1. "I can't be bothered with a fancy name like that"
