Margaret Doyle tucked a dark red curl back behind her ear, as she filled another mug to the brim with beer for yet another man looking to escape their wives and screaming children. Her fair cheeks were flushed from the heat of so many bodies pressed so close together, the thick and heady scent of sweat and pipe smoke hanging in the air.
Her family had immigrated from Ireland earlier in the year, looking to hopefully pave a better way in London, England. As a result of it, sixteen-year-old Margaret spent every day and every evening working in the bar her parents relied on to make a living.
She didn't mind the work, and the compliments and catcalls--flattering and crude alike--reminded her that despite her red-stained knuckles from scrubbing dishes in steaming water, she was still pretty. Even if she served as nothing but a distraction to the never ending cycle of men that came and left every evening.
