[39] Nothing important happens here, but the scene is devised to gain sympathy for the girl at once.
[40] Continuing atmosphere of sympathy for Florence, and beginning story in leisurely manner in harmony with its lack of dramatic opening.
[41] Ella definitely introduced; relationship of the girls established. Note characterization in leader.
[42] Note planting of tenement name in leader—bringing forecast of atmosphere.
[43] Three scenes contain "human touch." Note the "close-up" as differing from "bust" used later on.

[47] The close of one incident and beginning of another, no leader being required.
[48] This scene-sequence develops character, with contrast of the two leads; also registers that Florence's future conduct is influenced by Ella—not voluntary.
