As chapter 9 opens, Lyddie arrives on the floor of the weaving room after having gone through her official first-day procedures for new hires. She is startled by how loud the room is; she can hardly hear the instructions the overseer gives her. Diana, a co-worker, jumps in to show her the ropes. At one point they are able to step away from the noisy machines and Diana asks Lyddie if she likes to read. Lyddie admits she's not good at reading, and Diana tells her she can visit her that night so Diana can help her read the regulations. That evening Lyddie's roommates give her a hard time for going to see Diana. They warn her that Diana is a "known radical," but Lyddie goes to see her anyway. She finds Diana to be kind and understanding; Diana even gives Lyddie paper and postage so Lyddie can write her mother and Charlie, letting them know she is in Lowell. When Lyddie returns to her room, her roommates grill her about what happened at Diana's and again warn her about Diana, calling her "devious."

In chapter 10, Lyddie completes her first full day on the floor, and she finds it difficult and exhausting. Her feet swell in her new boots, the air is thick with debris, and the noise is deafening. Diana helps her get through the day, but when she gets back to the boarding house, she is nearly too tired to eat her supper. When she crawls into bed early, Betsy offers to read to her aloud from her novel, Oliver Twist. Lyddie is fascinated by the tale of poor young Oliver, who gets hauled before "a sort of agent" simply for asking for more food. When Betsy tries to explain about the author of the book, Lyddie says, "Don't stop reading, please." She is completely engrossed in the story.
