The Death of a Prostitute

Mary and Joseph lived in a small room off of Dorset Street called Miller's Court. They were able to afford the four shillings that the landlord charged each week. But things started to slip when events in the East End made their lives too dangerous. On October 30th, Mary took in a woman who Joseph said was a prostitute. To him, that was an offense and one he couldn't bear. The fight between them was so bitter it even broke a window of their room. So Joseph left and made his way to a lodging house in Bishop's Gate. With him gone, Mary was free to open the doors of her room for other women.
