She's got a mother in heaven, and that mother's got to blush for her. My first girl's gone to harlotry in London." It was Scriptural severity of speech. Robert glanced quick with intense commiseration at Rhoda.
"I say 'a fause lover. But the ane to whom she truly listened is an aulder serpent than he ... wae to her!" "No, no!" "But I say 'aye! I am na weak! She that worked evil and looseness, harlotry, strife, and shame, shall she na have her hire? As, Sunday by Sunday, I wad ha' set her in kirk, before the congregation, for the stern rebuking of her sin, so, mak no doubt, the Lord pursues her now!
By sowing dissensions among her own children, by inflaming party against party, by watching with care the oscillations of France so than none of the great divisions should obtain preponderance by alternately caressing and massacring the Huguenots, by cajoling or confronting Philip, by keeping, as she boasted, a spy in every family that possessed the annual income of two thousand livres, by making herself the head of an organized system of harlotry, by which the soldiers and politicians of France were inveigled, their secrets faithfully revealed to her by her well-disciplined maids of honour, by surrounding her unfortunate sons with temptation from earliest youth, and plunging them by cold calculation into deepest debauchery, that their enervated faculties might be ever forced to rely in political affairs on the maternal counsel, and to abandon the administration to the maternal will; such were the arts by which Catharine had maintained her influence, and a great country been governed for a generation Machiavellian state-craft blended with the more simple wiles of a procuress.
By insensible degrees came first unhallowed relationships through friendship and passing passion, then a curious intermediate state between the high world of fashion and the half world of harlotry, until, finally, in Louisville, she had become, not openly, but actually, the mistress of a house of ill repute.
Regarded in its economical aspects, they hold that it would be just as good economy and as much the dictate of common sense, to obtain a revenue by licensing murder, theft, burglary, robbery, and harlotry, as it is to license the sale of intoxicating drinks as a beverage.
One need only think over his books and his subjects to be convinced of this: "L'Assommoir" and drunkenness; "Nana" and harlotry; "Germinale" and strikes; "L'Argent" and money getting and losing in all its branches; "Pot-Bouille" and the cruel squalor of poverty; "La Terre" and the life of the peasant; "Le Debacle" and the decay of imperialism.
I saw the Roman Empire, that Scarlet Woman whose sands were dyed crimson with blood to appease her harlotry, whose ships were laden with treasures from the immutable East, grain from the valley of the Nile, spices from Arabia, precious purple stuffs from Tyre, tribute and spoil, slaves and jewels from conquered nations she absorbed; and yet whose very emperors were the unconscious instruments of a Progress they wot not of, preserved to the West by Marathon and Salamis.
'For that woman Tresten, you know me I would have sacrificed for that woman fortune and life, my hope, my duty, my immortality. She knew it, and she look! he unwrinkled the letter carefully for it to be legible, and clenched it in a ball. Signs her name, signs her name, her name! God of heaven! it would be incredible in a holy chronicle signs her name to the infamous harlotry!
It is worse, I think, when the fair, penitent, innocent, credulous dupe becomes in her turn the deceiver when she catches vice from the breath upon which she has hung when she ripens, and mellows, and rots away into painted, blazing, staring, wholesale harlotry when, in her turn, she ruins warm youth with false smiles and long bills and when worse worse than all when she has children, daughters perhaps, brought up to the same trade, cooped, plumper, for some hoary lecher, without a heart in their bosoms, unless a balance for weighing money may be called a heart.
