Analyze the interaction between characters

The dialogue shows Henry greeting Pearl Wills politely ("Good afternoon, Miss Wills"), to which Pearl responds coldly with a dismissive grunt ("Hmmph."). Olive then has to make an excuse for Pearl's behavior ("I believe my sister is having a little trouble with her throat... She certainly doesn't mean to be rude"), indicating tension and friction between Pearl and Henry.

Identify the type of conflict

The tension and rude behavior occur directly between two individual characters (Pearl and Henry). This represents an interpersonal struggle, which is classified as character versus character conflict.
