Christine was wonderful. How about her costume contrived from the advertising paraphernalia? One of the few off-notes for me in the book was the obvious implication that she would change, would flatten, once the menarche hit. Oh, the cardigan that buttoned all the way up, alas! A very obvious reference to how her personality also buttoned up.
