In this chapter, we meet Arnold and his daughter Raina, who are shopping at a pastry shop. Raina is wearing a new dress, which she has made out of fabric that her sister, Maria, has given her. She is very proud of the dress, but her father is not happy about it. He asks her to open the dress himself, but she refuses, saying that it is too expensive for her. He tells her that the fabric is better than what he has ever bought, and that if it were made into clothes, they would look great on him and william.
