Minutes of Glory

Since Beatrice has become a barmaid she has only wanted to be lusted over by many men and offered many gifts. But for some reason unknown to her, men are indifferent about her and she is invisible to them. She is always feeling poorly about her appearance and failure to make any money. One day she finally thinks she has found someone to share her feelings with, a man who actually talks to her and pays her. The only problem is that when she finally shares her thoughts with the man, she makes him fall asleep. She is so angry, because she thought that this man would understand and be willing to listen to her because he would be able to relate. In vengeance Beatrice steals the man's money and goes to town to buy new clothes and jewelry.
Beatrice also learns that one of the other barmaids admired Beatrice, when all this time Beatrice had admired the other barmaids. Finally Beatrice is happy, and with her glowing persona and her new look, men stare at her everywhere she goes. Finally Beatrice is wanted by many men and gifts are offered to her constantly. But Beatrice turns them down because she feels happy with everything she has. Just knowing that these men feel this way makes her feel content with who she is. Even though her moment of glory is soon damaged when she is arrested for stealing she had her dream come true.
