The "boy" bit at the beginning, yes. Also, the bad grammar (very much NOT typical of CP) and several other characteristics of the dialogue were very reminiscent of the "yes, massah!" portrayals of darker-complected folk in the 'Mer'can movies and literature of the early 20th century. (But which, quite possibly, may not have ever made it into British culture.)
