The Gray Woman and Milly at Fortner's Store
Milly, a twenty year old shop clerk, helps the gray woman known as Miss Spaulding, an author and patron of her counter. Milly learns the author’s true identity after she leaves a ribbon purchase and later receives a $20 gold piece with a grateful note. Milly’s life, finances, and hopes for a party with Drew Winthrop are set against looming hardship.
