About this book
Horatio Alger wrote Rufus and Rose; Or, The Fortunes of Rough and Ready. A seamstress looks for a room to let, going first to Spring Street, where she finds the house so dirty and neglected in appearance that she does not feel like entering. On Leroy Street, Miss Manning asks about a room to let, and the landlady says it is for a gentleman, that she does not take ladies, and that it is rather expensive.
The house on Christopher Street is a fair-looking house, but the seamstress finds the room is a large one on the second floor and the rent would be beyond her means. Rufus says the board for both of them is eight dollars a week, and that he has invested the money he had in a stationery store on Sixth Avenue and gets a third of the profits. Asked how long he has been there, Rufus answers about four months, and is told his services have been quite satisfactory.
