They both consider him extremely eligible and a good catch, for he is about to be taken into partnership. Old Bachman, the proprietor, always gives a Thanksgiving dinner to his employees, and for this particular occasion, Maida has managed to buy the material for a purple dress. She tells Schlegel the tailor that she will pay a balance owing of four dollars the night before Thanksgiving. Her friend Grace had spent her room rent on a new dress to attend the Thanksgiving dinner, and so Grace will not be thrown out of her room, generous Maida advances to her the small sum she had put aside as the final payment on her purple dress. After the dinner she leaves and goes to the tailor, and to her surprise he gives her the dress. She discards her old one and starts forth with the new purple beauty. On the way she meets Mr. Ramsey, and she makes such an impression on him that he decides that now is the time to get married. See less
