A Waitress at Duvals' Restaurant.

At first I read this waitress's expression as if she is nervous. The way she is standing makes it look like it was set up but because only one hand is on her hip it makes her look like she not yet in total control of her job. She seems hesitant and quiet and also very young. Young enough to look like she just started this job. After reading the poem, my thoughts don't change much. She seems to do her job as expected but doesn't engage in conversation or anything more than serving the man. When the man leaves, the waitresses and waiters are dancing in what seems like the streets. I don't picture this waitress dancing because she seems so shy but because it says she was maybe she feels at home with the other waitresses an waiters. Maybe since they are familiar faces, she's more comfortable around them. I don't think my reading of her expression changed because her personality seems to fit what is represented in the picture. She seems quiet and she expresses this in her job when she is serving the man.
