Lady of the Street: Beginnings // Excerpt

EXCERPT: Inishowen, Donegal, Ireland // November 2, 1898, Saturday, dawn

His only motive was greed and malice, destroying any hope of keeping her home. The courts continued to favor the landlord’s agent as charging a reasonable rent, even when it was 40 to 50 percent above the Poor Law valuation of the land. The court denounced the agent many times for his harsh conduct towards his tenants. Yet, none seemed to make any difference.”
