Quote #4
Maddie snorted. Queenie was devoted to careless namedropping, scattering the details of her privileged upbringing without the faintest hint of modesty or embarrassment (though, after a while Maddie began to realize she only did it with people she liked or people she detested—those who didn't mind and those she didn't care about—anyone in between, or who might have been offended, she was more cautious with). (1.11.XI.43.79)
People do sometimes give you funny looks when you tell them you live in a castle. Don't ask us how we know. Julie scatters a ton of information about her privileged status throughout her confession, so according to Maddie here, she must either love them or loathe them.
Quote #5
"Ah've nae wish tae disturb ye, Missus—" her well-bred, educated accent suddenly developed an irresistible Scottish burr. "We've come frae RAF Maidsend and Ah've had this wee spot o' bother wi' me bike. Ah wondered—" (1.11.XI.43.148)
Here we see Julie pretending, as she loves to do, hiding her privileged background to get in good with someone who wouldn't be able to relate to it at all.
Quote #6
"Och aye," Queenie agreed. It could not be a problem she ever encountered, with her educated upper-crust vowels, but being a Scot, she sympathized with any distrust of the soft Southern English. "You've only one more fear to go—make it good." (1.11.XI.43.160)
Maddie is afraid people will make fun of her Manchester accent. Do we ever see Maddie change the way she talks for any reason, or is this talent limited to Julie?
