Chapter 10

Lily continues to spend her money that she is getting from Gus's investments, not just on dresses and things, but also on charity that Gerty introduced to her. Lily gets invited to spend Thanksgiving at the Bry's house, a party organized by Carey Fisher because Mrs Bry uses Carey to pull her up the social ladder. Lily goes with them for thanksgiving and comes back happy. Rosedale then pays her a visit and manipulates her into agreeing to go to the opera with him by making her nervous about the stock market. At the opera, Lily is admired by all, and Gus gets mad that he doesn't get any special privileges with her because he is financing her. They argue for a bit until George Dorset turns up and says that his wife Bertha wants to be friends with Lily again, which Lily is open too because at this point she doesn't want revenge, she just wants friendship. How nice.
