Hi List,

In my spare time, I'm compiling a list of known words for the staff of
"Houses of Ill Fame." Among those already found: concubine, harlot,
lewdness, madam(e), keeping prostitutes, prostitute, brothel, whore,
bawd, bawdy house, courtesan/courtezan, bordello, trollop, and mistress.

Can you come up with other names?

ps, I've already spoken to Craig Scott -- naturally, he came up with a
few other ideas, such as "seamstress" but that can't be proven as to the
true occupation!
