The disturbed maid who works for Mr. JLB Matekoni hates Mma Ramotswe from the moment she enters the un-kept house by the Botswana Defense Club. What do you think peoples true feelings boil down to when assumptions are made so quickly as in this case? Are the maids first assumptions any better than the ones Mma Ramostwe has about Oswald Ranta when she first meets him?
Are correct judgements ok and wrong first assumptions mean and impatient? what makes them different? Is there a difference?

In the maid case I believe it is one of those judgements one makes when the fear for the loss of the stability of something. In those cases one usually imagines someone as would be most convinient to their particular situation. Simmilarly in Iagos case for rationalizing his sadistic plans. There is also that constant fear of the unknown that most people feel when a mysterious concept is introduced into a situation. In Mma
Ramostwes case it is her job to make inferences based on surface clues and also not to judge quickly, for a quality such as that would be poisoness in most investigations. Mma Ramostwe always makes sure that her judgements are correct, and thats what make them acceptable. Evidence! The maid jumps directly to action. A risky decision that will prove to be life altering.
