You need to see a color photo to know her true beauty. She had red hair, was gorgeous and quasi-ethereal - the puzzle is why she was a hooker - she had suchca radiant beauty, she could have done/been anything.
There’s plenty of money to be made as a “high-class” hooker if your main asset is having those kinds of looks. Takes more than having ‘radiant beauty’ to be a rocket scientist or a lawyer though...
