M'name's Mollie -- Mollie Tanner if hits anythin' to you. Oi lives in Flowery Dean. . . . growed up there. There was six of us. I was the only girlie. Oi learned 'ow to beat up me brothers quick. . . .followed in me Mum's footsteps. The Britannia is me second home where I meets the gen'lmen. This pertickerler night in the middle of November oi were carryin' me knife. Carn't be too careful these days wi' Jack about. One old buzzard oi never 'ad no truck wi' was old Bill. 'E was mad. 'E never hurt nobody but 'e smelled an' acted strange. . . . kinda felt sorry fer 'im. 'E wanted me to go wif 'im but oi says no. Oi could've used a pint but I has my standards. One o' me reg'lars come along jest then an' we had a real jolly time. 'E was real gen'rous, 'e was, an oi were in a good mood when we left. We went to an alley to ah -- have a talk an' 'e left. I was standin' in front of this 'ere wooden fence when all of a sudden the gate opens behind me and an arm locks about me throat. Oi pulls me knife an' jabs 'is arm and he squeals like a pig and lets go a me. Oi thought fer sure it had to be Jack. It were dark as a coal mine an I spins around an lets 'im have it in the 'eart. 'E fell down. Oi bends over to get me knife an' then I sees. Hits only old Bill an oi've done fer 'im. Oi gets out o' there fast and never tells nobody but you. If the coppers ever find out hits the rope fer me. I'm still carryin' me knife even though its been months since the last killin'. Funny 'ow Jack jest stopped all 'o a sudden. Wonder what 'appened to 'im?
