Maeterlinck's heroine, on the other hand, sinks lower than harlotry: when her body is beyond buying she sells her hand.
"Life and Writings of Maurice Maeterlinck"
Jethro Bithell
An age like the Neronian, an age abandoned to wine and harlotry, which dreams only of making money by any sordid means, cannot even appreciate what the great masters have left behind, much less itself produce anything worthy.
"Roman Society from Nero to Marcus Aurelius"
Samuel Dill
It would be rash to say that Mrs. Barton did not see that the weapons which had proved so deadly in her hands were ineffectual in her daughter's; but twenty years of elegant harlotry had blunted her finer perceptions, and now the grossest means of pushing Olive and the Marquis morally and physically into each other's arms seemed to her the best.
