The court held it could not do so. The Missouri court in Slate v. Clarke, 54 Mo. 17, had before it a statute authorizing the licensing of bawdy houses and was urged to declare it unconstitutional because against public policy and destructive of good morals. The court held it had no such power.
Crowley had been educated for the priesthood but emerged from the seminary with a heightened joy of life in his veins. A riotous twenty years in night saloons and bawdy houses had left him a kindly, choleric, and respected newspaper figure. Dorn caught his eye and wondered over his sensitive infatuation of exotic writing.
The Town Waites whome I appointed to come and visitt us. Suc. 'Twas well donn: have you ere a good song? Tim. Yes, they have many. Suc. But are they bawdy? come, sir, I see by your simpring it is you that sings, but do not squeake like a French Organ-pipe nor make faces as if you were to sing a Dirge. Grimes. Well, sir, this is indifferent Musicke, trust my judgment. Crac.
This never came to pass; Tim Fisher did not have any spectacular qualities about him that would land him an invitation. So Tim's work with Holden's machine had been straightforward studies in mechanics and bookkeeping and business management plus a fine repertoire of bawdy songs he had rung in on the sly and subsequently used at parties.
"Well, Willie, well, I never hated you as much as I had reason to," she grumbled, and began to cough very lamentably. "So at the last I must make a marquis of you ugh! Will you jest for them in counsel, Willie, and lead your henchman to battle with a bawdy song ugh, ugh!"
"I had to hunt quite a bit for them," his hostess apologized ten minutes later, as she spread the glossy prints of half a dozen photographs for Dundee's inspection. "Do you know 'The Beggar's Opera'?" "John Gay eighteenth century, isn't it?... As I remember it, it is quite " and Dundee hesitated, grinning. "Bawdy?" Lois laughed. "Oh, very!

Here I met with Chetwind, Parry, and several others, and went to a little house behind the Lords' house to drink some wormwood ale, which doubtless was a bawdy house, the mistress of the house having the look and dress: Here we staid till noon and then parted, I by water to the Wardrobe to meet my wife, but my Lady and they had dined, and so I dined with the servants, and then up to my Lady, and there staid and talked a good while, and then parted and walked into Cheapside, and there saw my little picture, for which I am to sit again the next week.
Fie upon thee, false kitchen page, I will never pray thee to save his life, for I will never be so much in thy danger. Then shall he die, said Beaumains. Not so hardy, thou bawdy knave, said the damosel, that thou slay him. Alas, said the Green Knight, suffer me not to die for a fair word may save me.
My wife laid hold of the husband's prick, and declared it to be a very fine one, and a delicious variety which was always charming.
