Jansie is a friend of Sophie’s. They are both working class, and their families appear to be friends with one another. Josie is considerably more realistic and pessimistic than Sophie. She knows that the two of them are “earmarked for the biscuit factory” a truth which makes her feel “melancholy”. She is also noted as a gossip who is unable to keep secrets.
