She bears a child, “easily and painlessly.” Up until this point, the description has been positive, but it also makes a point to say that she is not quite average, and not quite above-average. She never has a boyfriend, but ends up marrying a man who will take of himself and his family. She takes good care of herself, and she accepts that a black woman during this time is supposed to serve white people, so she goes to a school to learn how and does both with politeness. Basically, she (not one woman, but a type of woman) is very pretty and she comes from a small and pretty town where everyone is employed and probably housed. That’s how many pages were used to describe this type of woman, but no specific name was used until after five pages of description.
