Mary Anne loves sewing. In fact, she's just started taking quilting and smocking lessons from an elderly neighbour, Mrs Towne.
Then Mrs Towne has an accident, and she really needs Mary Anne's help. Mary Anne is happy to do a few errands in exchange for her sewing lessons. But then it turns out that Mary Anne is doing everything for Mrs Towne.
Mary Anne doesn't want to hurt Mrs Towne's feelings. But she doesn't like being treated like a maid, either!
