The Crown Jewel: Daphne Manners Daphne Manners was a woman who was ahead of her time and obnoxiously unprejudiced. The prejudice he had was purely ignorance of the day and age. She didn't like someone just because he was Indian. Daphne Manners also made negative comments about the bias she saw happening. She ignored social norms when she started falling in love with Hari Kumar. If Miss Manners had followed the standards of the day and age of the story, she would never have given Hari a second look.
