Quote:
"Later, when I told Doreen about his curious behavior, she said, 'You ninny, he wanted his tip.'"

When you're new to a place you usually don't learn the customs till after you find out about them. Doreen seems to have found out about a custom of giving bellboys tips. The only problem is that she didn't give the boy his tips. This is bad because the boy ends up being sad and mad at Esther and Esther ends up feeling stupid and unknowledgable.
