What does Pauline mean when she refers to the purple-and-fine-linen class in
Paragraph 11?

She meant a royal and wealthy class.

Explanation:

Materials made of purple and fine-linen were especially difficult to sew and were thus reserved for the royal families in ancient times. When Pauline was thinking about Joan she acknowledged that even though Joan's father did not make much as a countryside doctor, Joan dressed well enough and had an air that belonged to the purple-and-fine-linen class. This means that Joan had the disposition of a wealthy child.

Pauline could think of Joan in this light because she was a wealthy snob.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
