A Lady Named Lill
Lill was a shy,young French-American girl who grew up in a farming
community.At the age of 16,her father thought"Lill has had enough
schooling,"and she was forced to drop out of school to contribute to the
family income.
Her limited education and skills left her with little hope and confidence
and she didn't know what work she could do.She rode the bus daily into
Detroit,but she couldn't gather the courage to respond to a Help Wanted
ad;she couldn't even bring herself to knock on a door.Each day she
would just ride to the city,walk aimlessly about and at dusk return home.
As days passed,Lill knew she had to have the courage to knock on a
door.On one of her trips,Lill saw a sign,reading:
"Secretary Wanted".She walked up the long flight of stairs to the
company offices.
Cautiously,Lill knocked on her very first door,and was met by the office
manager Margaret.In her broken English,Lill told her she was interested
in the position,falsely stating that she was 19.Margaret knew something
wasn't right,but decided to give the girl a chance.
She sat her down at a typewriter and said with a smile,"Type the letter
for me,and let me see how good you are."Then she left.
Lill looked at the clock:11:40 am.She figured that she could run away in
the crowd when the clock struck 12.But she knew she should at least stay
and give it a try.On her first try,she got through one line.It had five
words and she made four mistakes.She pulled the paper out and threw it
away.The clock read 11:45."In fifteen minutes,"she said to herself,"I'll
escape from the company,and she will never see me again."On her
second try,Lill got through a full paragraph,but still made many
mistakes.Again she pulled out the paper,threw it out and started over.
This time she completed the whole letter,but still there were many
mistakes in it.She looked at the clock:11:55-five minutes to freedom.
