A merchant, P G White, answers a shop ad for an apprentice and pursues Dolly, the milliner manager. He courts with odd talk of marriage and Shakespeare, but Dolly rejects him, police are called, and the would-be suitor laments his age and missed chance as a crowd forms watching him depart humbled.
The passage lists conventional kitchen measures for flour sugar and eggs, notes odd conversions, and then shifts to vivid snippets: a couple flirting under a rail, the old man remarking on agricultural interest, a London theater manager rode to Westminster by tub pulled by four geese, and a note about silver reappearing in fiscal vaults with old Spanish pillar dollars and a 600 New York payment, once feared lost to China or India.
