The two girls, Maureen and Rose, are off on their own. With the money they got from the tickets, they were able to find a little apartment and rent out a room. The man they are renting from has a daughter that works at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory. Her name is Gussela. She's pretty and Rose looks up to her very much.
Rose had taken some stems home for the girls to all work on. She and Maureen finished them and Rose went to take them back. She gets there and the man tells her to come back later at night when the shop closes. So she came back at around eight o'clock. He tells her to take off her coat and then he thrusts himself on her and starts kissing her. Frightend, she runs out without her pay and her coat.
She gets back to the apartment and get a Gussela finds out what happened. She and Rose go back the next day to get the pay, her jacket, and to tell him off. They walk out with her coat, and three whole dollars. They have succeeded.
Gussela continues to talk to Rose about the factory. She brings home a sewing machine and teaches Rose how to use it. Then tells Rose she'll try and get her a job at the factory.
This is where I end.
