What is a summary for chapter 9 of "Lyddie"?

girl whose family falls apart.  When her parents are gone, the children are unable to make ends
meet.  Lyddie goes to the city of Lowell to become a factory girl.
 Lyddie is a work of historical .

Chapter nine describes
Lyddie's first day at work.  When she arrives, she is quite startled by the noise and bustle of
the factory.  The overseer attempts to tell her how to run the loom, but he only confuses her.
 A girl she'd never met before, Diana, steps in and offers to show her how to use the loom.  She
spends the rest of the day learning from her.  Diana also offers to help her learn how to read
better, so she visits her that evening and they study together.  With Diana's help, she writes a
letter to her mother and one to her brother.  The other girls in Lyddie's boardinghouse tell her
to stay away from Diana because she is "devious" and tries to stir up trouble, but
Lyddie ignores what they say.
