    1. Well, there's the metaphor and the pun : "Her wire to the employment office brought results-but dark ones." From my understanding, the 'dark results' refers to the color of Berry's skin and Mr. Hughes cleverly plays a pun on it as well, in the sense that the results from the High Class Help Agency was the servant who would be working at the Home. They had originally thought they would send a white person; instead they sent Berry who was dark skinned '...brought results- but dark ones'

  6. In what sense can this story be said to be about the difference between reality and appearance?

    1. I think one way could be the difference in meals that were served. When the parents visited their children they were presented with the idea that the children are fed well, but in reality it was only a show. In the parents' absence the menu changed and the children were not given the food they were supposed to receive.
