An old East End gin house was where Jenny first saw her. Thanks to a childhood learning to fight from six older brothers, her time on the streets hadn’t gone as badly as they should have. No respectable butcher would give her a job, but her ability to take down a drunken tom twice her size made her valuable at keeping the peace when it was Ladies’ Night in the backroom. Not that Jenny had seen many actual Ladies here at Harry’s. They usually kept to better rooms, in better houses. But even at a wealthy Sapphist club on the West Side, Jenny imagined the tall, smartly dressed woman would stand out, with or without the veil.
