the dusty circle

Within three weeks she was smiling, a bit of yellow visible for a moment. I watched her as she approached the men at the bar inviting then with her breast. Madame LeClair, hearing a faint shrill from the unstairs parlor, but her reverie was broken by a loud cry from the crowd near her. She new if she was going to make any money off the gentelmen tonight she needed to find a room fast before the other whores started in.
Coming around the dusty little circle again, she wonders if he knew what it meant. I think the very name brought pleasure to him and even the commenest of the villagers can enjoy the same pleasure. Suddenly a shadow fell over her less than civilized existance. "Sir, only ten pence."
