Carolina shot the girl an amused look as she took up a rag and started wiping down the bar. "It's not as bad as you seem to think," she said. "The customers here at the Duckling are seldom disrespectful, and the drunks are often charming. And you're right," she conceded. "It gets me out of the Tenements a couple nights a week, and I make decent money in tips." With another glance at the girl, she said, "Perhaps it's something you might consider. There's always work for bartenders."
