After living for two or three years in the vilest haunts in London, Lucie came to Holland, where, not being able to sell her own person any longer, she became a procuress a natural ending to her career. Lucie was only thirty-three, but she was the wreck of a woman, and women are always as old as they look.
These prudish dames perform the best of services; but seeing they busy themselves therein for money, we distrust their disinterestedness. Call yours a procuress, good Father, and have done with it; 't is a word in common use, and has a not unseemly sound." "So I will, Monsieur l'Abbé," assented Brother Jean Chavaray. "Only don't say mine, I pray, but the Brother Olivier's.
Such was the woman whose friend and procuress La Vicenza had become. She received the applications of those who were in love with Madame Prote, and passed them on, while, whether a lover's suit was accepted or not, the procuress got something out of him.
I saw that the woman was a procuress, and I only replied with a smile of contempt. The poor girl then told me briefly what I had already heard, and added that Croce, who called himself De St.
It was the face of a procuress of the lowest and most desperate type, of a deformed she-wolf of the slums, of the worst there is in all abandoned human nature, and Harlson was as interested as I was disgusted and repelled. He noted the woman closely. "By Jove! look there!" he said. "What is it?" "Look at her hand." I looked.
In the course of Lady Bornwell's intrigue with Kickshaw he is taken blindfold to the house of the procuress, Decoy, who, in the guise of a doting crone, leads him to a chamber where he imagines he is to meet a succubus, whilst the Lady, unknown to him, entertains him herself.
"In Rome itself I had many agents and chiefly my sister, Galvia Crispinilla, a professional procuress and poisoner, who knew the worst secrets of the lives of all Rome's wealthy and noble debauchees, and our brother, Marcus Galvius Crispinillus, a professional informer and a valued member of the Imperial Secret Service.
"Last of all the procuress hurried to the Parisian's. She was a hussy, and answered brazenly: "'My husband goes Wednesday to his vineyards; tell the good sir who sent you I will come that day and see him. "Such, according to Brother Olivier, from Picardy to Paris, are the degrees from good to evil amongst women. What think you of the matter, Monsieur Coignard?"
No trait of the universal face is lacking in the profile of Paris. The bal Mabile is not the polymnia dance of the Janiculum, but the dealer in ladies' wearing apparel there devours the lorette with her eyes, exactly as the procuress Staphyla lay in wait for the virgin Planesium. The Barriere du Combat is not the Coliseum, but people are as ferocious there as though Caesar were looking on.
Suddlechop in the text; that is, half milliner half procuress, and secret agent in all manner of proceedings.
