Step-by-step explanation:

Maya Angelou describes Mrs. Bertha Flowers as "the aristocrat of Black Stamps" because the town she is from is Stamps, Arkansas and it is used to show or indicate that Mrs. Bertha Flowers has better manners and is more elegant that anyone else.

Mrs. Flowers was described as being an elegant African-American woman who was graceful and appeared to be very warm on cold weather and like a "private breeze" during summer days.
