Barbara Hambly _ The Emancipator's Wife
Lexington wasn't a great city, like Philadelphia or New York, but around the Courthouse square, and along Main Street and Broadway, brick buildings reared two and three stories tall, and it was possible to buy almost anything: breeze-soft silks from France that came upriver from New Orleans, fine wines and cigars, pearl necklaces, and canes with ivory handles shaped like parrots or dogs'-heads or {in the case of Mary's older friend Cash Clay} scantily dressed ladies {but Cash was careful not to carry that one in company}.
