At the beginning of this chapter, Grace, a housekeeper, and one of the main characters in the text seems to believe she is nothing like Fiona McAllister and her Misses, Shirley Haskins, who are white women. Grace mentions in the text, “And why did she give in to the woman’s nosiness and speak about such foolish things? It’s like being unfaithful to her own name, making herself ungracious, when Grace is a name from no less than the holy book itself.” Basically saying, with such a name like hers, she must not stoop down to  Fiona’s level, she mustn’t be nosy. Grace’s name is the centerpiece of this chapter. She believes that she must keep her holiness, but she ruins that when she steals Fiona’s scarf at the end of her chapter. She begins to feel the guilt afterward and feels the need to confess her sins. “From airs and graces comes disgrace,” she is now a disgrace for stealing the scarf without hesitation. This goes to show that even the most “perfect” people are not perfect.
