Anna Wolkoff (the owner of the Russian tea room where the Nazi sympathizers gather gives Juliet a badge that serves as a symbol of her acceptance by Mrs. Scaife and the other Fascists in her circle. Wolkoff tells Juliet, "You are one of us now" (116) as she pins the badge to her dress, demonstrating that she has effectively fooled them all into believing her secret identity. The badge features an eagle, a symbol of the Nazi Party, and the letters P and J, which stands for "Perish Judah" (116).
