Biography:
The nursemaid who takes care of Mrs. Harriss's first child, Max, is "a light-colored Negress a good deal smarter, or at least snappier-looking than any other woman white or black either in Jefferson" (158). Like the family's chauffeur, this nurse is another sign of Mr. Harriss' conspicuous consumption.
