Imagery:

"Her mouth had slowly opened and a stream of saliva was trickling down on to her dress. Her body trembled. Her hands knotted into tight fists. Slowly she slid down the side of the wall till she lay stretched on the pavement. Her eyes glazed..." pg. 21

"The noise of people clapping hands and humming drew near. Maisy clung to his arm, shaking her hips and taking little fancy steps as they walked up the street. Every now and then she skipped away from him, swung around making her dress swish, bowed gracefully to him, then danced back and clung to his arm again." pg. 81

She stopped speaking. The softness faded from her face and the old hardness returned. She looked at Xuma and smiled out of the side of her face. pg. 16
