And I agree that Joni did really well using this word as I have heard from other friends that the "genteel" aspect means something like white people don't get it. In that sense Joni did well and it gives a little peek into the idea that Joni may have been really aware in the time she was in Furry's house that she had a lot to learn. Even though she had been poor (after her boyfriend left her?) she didn't get what real poverty and no prospects meant. - -Clint ________________________________ From: "Stebbing, David E."
