Not a farthing off the rent, not from me. But I've turned four men back from my front step this month, so the ledger balances well enough.

• Madame Orphee DuboisMrs. Briggs, might I borrow that hand of yours for my own parlour sometime. I pay generously.
  Nell BriggsMy knees won't survive the stairs in Mayfair, Madame.
