Ruth's request caught Florence with surprise. She cocked her brow and asked, "You want to do something for me?"
Ruth nodded her head with determination. Taking favours was not something that Ruth had lived upon.
"Hmm..." Florence placed her finger on her chin as she thought about what Ruth could do for her in return for the money that Florence gave to Ruth's landlord.
"What are you good at?" Florence asked straight away as she couldn't think of anything.
"I... I don't have any special talent if that is what you are asking me. I have learned only one thing in my life, and that is sewing. And I am quite good at it as everyone from the western part admires my work with threads and needles." Ruth told excitedly.
"Ok, then. I have this piece of garment with me. It is a gift from my... friend. I was thinking about making a dress out of it but couldn't get time to go to the tailor shop. If you want, you can make a dress for me from that." Florence suggested.
