Mrs. Melissa Thorne - 616 Wheatley Street
Mrs. Thorne runs her business quietly out of her own house, being the sole employee, and has a select and genteel clientele. Mrs. Thorne considers herself more a companion with whom grateful men leave gifts than a prostitute.
Her neighbors, a few of whom know the truth, find her quiet, reliable, and considerate, and make no trouble for the lady.
She numbers a selectman and a police official among her beaus.
Her husband gambled away their savings and then died, leaving her with a house and little else. As a woman used to pampering, she began to borrow. Little by little the loans became gifts. Recently, a favorite client has put forward a proposition to name a new street in East Town after her, Thorne Circle, a success which will be a great source of pride to her in later years.
