Sydney is often commenting that he is "a genuine Philadelphia Negro mentioned in the book of that name" (284). The rest of the African-American population on the island are not even called by their real names by Sydney and Ondine, simply as "Yardman" or "Mary", no matter how many different people these characters actually were. Willie is actually called "Son" by Sydney, who thinks little of the man the moment he sees him, and is actually ready to shoot him with a gun when he is discovered on the property. He does not see Willie as a Negro, but instead as a "swamp nigger" (191) and not one of them. Margaret, as well, shows her prejudice by creating derogatory nicknames for the help, and even calling Sydney and Ondine "Kingfish and Beulah". Valerian does not appear concerned with race, class, or gender, as he is able to welcome a large black stranger to the dinner table after his own butler does not trust the man who has been found dirty and wild in his wife's closet, thoroughly terrifying her and causing her to believe she has basis for her racial prejudice and proceed to fear him and refer to him simply as "gorilla". What is interesting about the class divisions and naming in the story is that is goes both ways. The black help have their own nicknames for Sydney and Ondine, and they often refuse to acknowledge the existence of the two, nor any white person on the island. Ondine, in turn, calls Margaret "Principal Beauty of Maine", and does not think highly of her. Willie has nicknames for the white people in the house as well, signifying that he does not hold them in high regards. It would appear that all through the book people are being judged and ranked according to their race, however, instead of each of the groups automatically respecting one another, or even those who are technically above them in the hierarchy, every person seems to be able to judge one another, and when someone is not respected, the respect is not easily feigned or forced.
