But she treasures in her heart her love for Will, who had several years before married Martha, a timid little woman. A bargain sale is in progress at the store and Martha is examining the dresses, which are reduced to twelve dollars. Genevieve, not knowing who Martha really is, hastens to her, and the little woman, shabbily dressed, says she will come again with her husband. Soon afterward, Genevieve meets Will and accepts his invitation to dinner. The following day, she is delighted to receive a note from him urging her to accompany him again. She has listened to his recital of how his wife henpecks him and nags at him from morning until night, and has the sincerest sympathy for "big, generous Will," as she still thinks him. Martha enters the store with Will. Genevieve is horrified to think that this timid woman is Will's wife. She insists that Martha buy a $150 gown. Will is afraid to refuse. Genevieve suggests to Jerry that he rent a larger store and that they go into business together and for life. Written by
