Lilly was a French girl who moved to America with her family. She dropped out of school at the age of 16. She had to work to support the family. Her English was very poor. She didn't have

the confidence to knock on the door of a company to ask for a job.

O ne day. Lilly saw a sign at a company. "Help wanted.” the sign said. She walked up to the office and knocked on the door. She was met by the office manager. Margaret Costello. In her broken English, Lilly told her she was interested in the secretarial position, and said that she was 19. Margaret knew something wasn't right, but decided to give the girl a chance.

Margaret sat her down at a typewriter and said, "Lilly, let's see how good you really are. She let Lilly type a single letter, and then left. Lilly looked at the clock and saw that it was 11:40 a.m. Everyone would leave for lunch at noon. She thought that she could slip away in the crowd then.
