The Fighter And the Fallen Woman
“Adams, Mr. King is here to see you,” Mrs. Binkley said.
Hannibal looked up from the most recent report on his porcelain sales and smiled at his housekeeper. “Thank you, Mrs. Binkley. Would you give me a moment and show him in?”
She bobbed a little curtsy and left, and Hannibal compared the numbers in his manager’s report to those he’d ciphered the day before. Yes, there was definitely room for growth, and thanks to Collins throwing a few big building blocks his way, Hannibal decided to ...do it. He could add a score of new girls to the upper floors of his warehouse, girls who could copy Chinese paintings on the blank vases he bought cheap, and those toffs in America would never know they’d just paid ten pounds for a two-shilling vase. And when the girls couldn’t paint anymore, he’d send them to the Red Door, where the only work they’d have to do with their fingers was make a circle and pump.
