person
Blanche
also: Бланш
The younger of Madame Dudu's two "wards," a small dark-haired woman of about nineteen with a stern face and a Greek nose, whom the narration notes appears to be Jewish; her nearness makes Strekachev's head spin.
Reading notes
- The Crow §86 apparently a Jewess
The narrator's aside about Blanche's features reflects the casual ethnic typing common in the period's popular fiction; it is not elaborated further in the story.
