Biography:
The narrator refers to the African American who brings food to the McKellogg apartment on "a kind of wheelbarrer" as "a nigger . . . in a short kind of shirttail coat" (98). With the exception of his reference to Negro cabins on the outskirts of Jefferson (88), the black employees of the apartment building provide the story's only mention of race.
