The next morning, Ruth woke up early even though she didn't need to go to the shop. Mr Cooper had given two days off to his staff because he wanted to do some repairing work in the shop.
They had already completed most of their orders anyway and could afford to have a small break.
She dressed in her simple clothes, mentally noting that she needed to buy a pair of dresses to wear at work. Mr Cooper's tailoring shop was a favourite one among the Nobel and rich families of the western part of the Vincardine.
All of their customers came from the high-class society and that made it necessary for all the employees to look presentable to attend to those customers. All that shines brighter is easier to bid!
Ruth's eyes caught the bag of oranges that she bought yesterday for Florence but she forgot to give it to her. She had spent many hours with Mr and Mrs Payne enjoying her dinner and the time after that.
