The writer of these notes was walking through Leicester Square one sunny afternoon last November, when his attention was particularly taken by an effeminate, but very good-looking young fellow, who was walking in front of him, looking in shop-windows from time to time, and now and then looking round as if to attract my attention.
Dressed in tight-fitting clothes, which set off his Adonis-like figure to the best advantage, especially about what snobs call the fork of his trousers, where evidently he was favoured by nature by a very extraordinary development of the male appendages; he had small and elegant feet, set off by pretty patent leather boots, a fresh looking beardless face, with almost feminine features, auburn hair, and sparkling blue eyes, which spoke as plainly as possible to my senses, and told me that the handsome youth must indeed be one of the "Mary-Ann's" of London, who I had heard were often to be seen sauntering in the neighbourhood of Regent Street, or the Haymarket, on fine afternoons or evenings.

Autorenporträt
Jack Saul (1857-1904) was an Irish prostitute and author of popular erotica. Born in a Dublin tenement slum, Saul was raised in a poor Catholic family alongside seven siblings. He turned to sex work at a young age, moving to London in 1879 to earn more money for his impoverished mother. There, he gained a reputation as a professional prostitute and was swept up in the Cleveland Street scandal of 1887. During the trial, Saul's confession, which likely risked implicating aristocrats and members of the Royal Family, resulted in his release from custody. In 1881, the erotic novel The Sins of the Cities of the Plain, appeared in print. Marketed as Saul's memoirs, the novel was likely written through the combined efforts of Saul and either Simeon Solomon or James Campbell Reddie, both of whom wrote popular Victorian erotica.
