Mr. Webb
is clearly fond of his daughter, but some of her habits puzzle or annoy him. When he sees her
walking down the street, he thinks she is being pretentious by walking in an artificial manner.
He asks her who she is trying to be, implying that it is better to just be yourself. He tells
her to "walk simply." Emily seems to be confusedhe has previously suggested that she
stand up straight, but now he is calling her names.
When Mr. Webb gets home
and sees Emily in the window, he wants to know why she hasn't gone to bed and wonders if she has
anything on her mind. We get the impression that she is a dreamer and not always
practical.
