Prostitute Quote by Anne Mallory
““most people would not trust a drunken prostitute like Daise. Would you have two weeks ago?' She blinked at him. 'I don't know.' She hadn't even thought about prostitutes, drunken or not, two weeks ago. 'That could be me on the corner were things different.' She swallowed. 'Or if they go differently, it still could. I would want someone to believe me.””

![“Now,' [her father] barked. She stiffly followed, still fully dressed in the elaborate navy-and-white gown she had worn all evening. It was hard not to feel as if the bare walls and surfaces she passed had been bled, leeched, into the cloth encasing her. Stripped paint and sacrificed heirlooms…” quote by Anne Mallory](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/eb7/anne-mallory-9907_gown_now-her-father-barked-she-stiffly-follow_774145.jpg)
