The narrator tells us that this chapter is "purely fictitious" and that there is no intention to "inspire or describe" real events or characters in the setting. The narrator says that she will tell the other girls the news of her marriage. She suggests that Oswald triple his salary and asks where Oswald is staying. Oswald replies that he hasnt booked a hotel yet. He asks if she wants to stay in his room for a single night. Oswald says that the company will pay for travel expenses, but he has to pay for his own. He says that since they are married, "every penny i spend" is also hers. He tells her that he will treat her to dinner tonight and that she should thank him for helping her save money. She says that if she shared the bed with him, she would pay him half the rate. She tells Oswald that she just saved 150,000 for her husband and asks him to express her gratitude through actions. He replies that she must do her best today and that he is too close to her. She wants to change her shoes. She asks him if he is satisfied and he replies that in that case, she should grab it.
