“she’d been working
in one of our shops for over a year. a good worker too”
“…and died
after several hours of agony”
“she was a
very pretty girl…that didn’t make it any better”
“she swallowed a lot
of strong disinfectant. burnt her inside out of course”
“claiming elaborate
fine feelings…that were simply absurd for a girl in her position”
“as if a girl
of that sort would ever refuse money”
“she didn’t want
me to marry her”
“just used her
for the end of a stupid drunken evening, as if she was an animal, a thing, not a person”
“millions of
eva smiths and john smiths”
