Gertrude Denham Seeks Work in Mrs. Draper House
In New York a destitute seamstress, Gertrude Denham, asks Mrs. Draper for a place. Draper hires her on modest terms to educate the Draper girls and sew, while Gertrude endures long hours, debt from earlier boarding, and pressure from a creditor. Emma helps discreetly. Gertrude faces rumors and moral tests as she works to earn fair wages and keep her place.
