Paragraph 40 describes the event in the luck of Liz. Liz is the girl in a green silk skirt, and she cannot escape her fate - she has to get married, and there is no possible way to change it. This is why the author includes a word play to refer to this event, and describes Liz as "Fate in a green silk skirt."
