The Lights of London
“He also felt angry. He should have been inside in the warm, getting a hot, thick stew down his neck, and looking forward to a bed with clean, bug-free sheets and the company of a willing woman. But here he was, scouring the streets and alleyways around the Ratcliffe Highway, looking for someone. And he wasn’t going to give up until he found her.
One night, maybe, when he’d made his fortune he would be able to relax a bit, care more for his creature comforts, but until then he had to earn his li...ving and that was why he was out searching the streets for that ungrateful little cow, Tibs Tyler.
When he found her he’d make sure she paid, and not only the money she owed him. She’d pay up in all sorts of ways. He’d see to that. No one made a fool of Albert Symes. Letting people think you were weak was a mistake a pimp couldn’t afford to make. The girls were lazy liberty takers at the best of times, but if they caught wind of any sign of softness on his part they’d become uncontrollable and the floodgates would open for any Tom, Dick or Harry to challenge him for his lucrative territory down by the docks.MoreLess
