Another notion is that Mrs. Blount--who's reminiscing about this poutingly, whining about how she'd come to the dance much more elegantly dressed and no boys would look her--is that there is a measure of discrimination being leveled against her, because she's the daughter of penal colonists.
Of course she could have just been plain shovelface ugly too.
I went where Liev went, sinisterly.
