Much is made of Elizabeth Falk's Negro blood, and eventually it is an appeal to her concern for her people that induces her not to spill the beans about Poole. Yet the Negro issue is a straw man forcibly dragged into the plot; it does not belong. Another gratuitous element apparently was invented to give Betsy Blair something to do.
