Chapter 6

Queenie works on a pitch about racial tension in the US versus London. <a data-internal-link data-link-type="Character" href="https://www.supersummary.com/queenie/major-character-analysis/#352170">Darcy</a> tells Queenie that she picked a handsome American to be their intern to help distract Darcy from <a data-internal-link data-link-type="Character" href="https://www.supersummary.com/queenie/major-character-analysis/#352171">Tom</a>. Queenie doesn’t find him particularly handsome. She tells Darcy that police murdered another Black man in the US, and Darcy asks what the man was doing. Queenie is upset because the question places blame on the victim and tells Darcy this. Darcy is defensive, and while Queenie knows she means no harm, she thinks it was a careless thing to say. Going outside to have a smoke and calm down, Queenie sees <a data-internal-link data-link-type="Character" href="https://www.supersummary.com/queenie/major-character-analysis/#352174">Ted</a>. She mentions that she lost her scarf at the firework show. He starts to flirt, and she runs off. He emails her, complimenting her shirt, and she responds that colleagues shouldn’t have relationships like this. He writes back that he’s mature and will wait until she’s ready for him. Queenie feels guilty about her attraction to Ted and texts Tom. Queenie emails Darcy to inform her that she’s amending her rule about paying no attention to men to, instead, pay no attention to men you’d have a long-term relationship with.
