How It All Goes Down
Rachel Axelroot. Johannesburg, 1964.
- Rachel lectures us on "being understanding of the differences" (5.5.2) between white and black/rich and poor and how she's an "adaptable kind of person" (5.5.3).
- This coming from the person whose idea of having everything she needs is Breck Shampoo and Campbell's soup.
- She has a plan to get away from creepy ol' Axelroot though: Rachel plans to seduce Daniel DuPrée, the Attaché to the Ambassador, before he's reposted to Brazzaville. "Daniel, bless his heart, will never know what hit him" (5.5.10).
