Reread the description of Alice Kelling in paragraph 94. What details doesEdie notice about her, and why are these qualities important to Edie?
What will be an ideal response?
- As we all do when meeting someone for the first time, Edie focuses on Alice Kelling’s physical appearance. Edie, however, has a personal reason for doing so. When he saw her for the first time, Chris Watters had told Edie that she “looked so nice and beautiful” (par. 44). We can almost hear the glee in Edie’s descriptions of Alice’s “bust” that is “rather low and bumpy” and her “worried face,” and her assessment that there is “[n]othing in the least pretty or even young-looking about her.” Youth and beauty are obviously of interest to Chris Watters, and Edie is relieved to think that she possesses them in his eyes, while her rival obviously does not. On the other hand, there is a troubled note in Edie’s observation that “you could tell from how she talked she was from the city, or educated, or both.” In these areas Alice has the advantage and Edie cannot hope to compete.
