Read the passage carefully and answer this question
A : Did I say I would stop attending anywhere?
Did I? But bluntly speaking as for some old
chief with fifty wives, that won't do at all
Never.
B : (With cunning) Supposing it isn't some old
chief as you ignorantly describe, but the finely
built, glowing black large - eyed, handsome as anything, courages and famous .....
Speaker A is Speaker B's
Speaker A is Anansewa, the daughter while Speaker B is Ananse, her father. In the first part of the dialogue, Anansewa is protesting. She is a modern girl (attending secretarial school) and is horrified by the idea of being given away to a "chief with fifty wives." Her father, Ananse, uses his "cunning" to manipulate her perspective. He knows his daughter is vain and romantic, so he stops describing the suitors as "old chiefs" and starts describing them as handsome, powerful, and "glowing black."
