Word: Blase Adjective
Passage: “We’re on our way to a party,” I blurted, since Doreen had gone suddenly dumb as a post and was fiddling in a blasé way with her white lace pocketbook cover.
Definition: having or showing a lack of excitement or interest in something especially because it is very familiar
This helps me understand the passage because I can see that Doreen was not very interested in the conversation that was going on between the two gentlemen… I find this ironic however because of what happens with Doreen and Lenny.
