But the queens generally run to French names, as havin' a better commercial value than Mary Jane or Ann Maria.

One of these was Marie Garnett, who wasn't much on her own but spun the wheel in Jim's joint down on Barbary Coast, which was raided just so often for form's sake.

She always made a quick getaway, was never up in court, and died young.

Gabrielle ran an establishment down on Geary Street and was one of the swellest lookers and swellest togged dames in her profession till the drink got her.

I can't find that she ever hooked up to a James or any one else.
