The heat of the long summer days, the incessant lifting and measuring, and the aggravation of unreasoning customers all help to bring about the breakdown that attracts the attention of the store's welfare secretary. Rhoda has her vacation time advanced, and with the prospect of a glorious two weeks at the store's vacation home in the country she leaves the oven-like boarding house for the station. Arrived in Clermont she asks to be directed to the Home. The carriage is waiting for her and she makes a happy start, but there is a runaway and only the quick action of young farmer Dick Phelps saves her from injury. Their friendship grows rapidly, to the other girls' delight. Maggie, one of the impish little parcel wrappers, takes a special delight in ridiculing the rural lover, and as a joke manages that a supposed love letter shall fall from his pocket to be discovered by Rhoda. It looks for a while as though Rhoda had turned to retrace her steps along the road to happiness, but Dick courageously saves Maggie from drowning and in gratitude the girl explains the plot and Dick goes in search of Rhoda to make it up.
