Gwendy was ten when she first visited Washington, D.C., with her parents. They spent three hot days exploring the city from dawn to dusk. At the end of every day, they would order room service because they were too tired to shower and go to dinner. On their last morning in the city, they took a pedicab tour and ate ice cream cones while their tour guide pedaled them around the mall.

2. How is Gwendy's appearance and manner of dressing described in Chapter 2?
