Polly Sells a Fake Sparkler and Hearts Ed at Ware
Polly, a silk lingerie clerk in Denton, fantasizes about a diamond ring and Ed Barrow, the department store detective. She buys a fake sparkler, tells Daisy Mahon, and plates a ruse to win Ed’s attention while navigating late work hours and a reprimand. Ed ultimately woos Polly with flirtatious banter and a promise of a dinner, while she contemplates the crime of the real ring. The text also includes a long Social notes section detailing family visits and local gatherings.
