Biography:
This icon represents the "next generation" of town authorities," (120) who lead Jefferson in the early 20th century with their "more modern ideas"; this cohort includes the "deputation" of Alderman who pay a call on Emily Grierson to tell her that there is no record that her taxes had ever been remitted (120). Their unnamed spokesman is polite but firm, though his courteousness is soundly defeated by her intransigence - and the unwritten chivalric rules that still govern relations between men and ladies.
