Rose nodded her head and Lola left the stage looking embarassed and on the verge of tears, she would need to talk to her later. It took a particular kind of woman to do this line of work. She wasn't sure that this was for her, and perhaps she would be better poorer but working in the mills or as a scullery maid somewhere.

Kitty and Mirium, both now in full compeition for the job moved closer to Mister Vainart, preening like peacocks and trying everything in their power to 'make the sale.' While Rose allowed some girls to make thier own deals, trusting them to report their wages honestly, others Rose spoke for directly either because they hadn't earned their keep yet, or hadn't proved they could be trusted. Plenty of people got screwed in The True Hart -but it was never Rose.

'Either girl is 4 sickles to model for your project' she explained, maintaining the charade that she wasn't selling sex only company and the girls time. 'Or, for 6 sickles, you can have both.' Ever the sales woman Rose's voice was filled with promise as she explained the deal. Although Kitty shot her a look of annoyance, and Rose met her defiant gaze with an inplacable expression. Having caught her skimping on her reporting only 2 weeks before Kittys happiness with her earnings wasn't high on Rose's list of concerns. This way - if he took 1 girl Rose got her share, if he payed a little more and took both -well both girls got a pay cheqye, Rose made more, and Mister Vainart would have a very fun evening.
