The previous post highlighted the despair of the emotionally and financially embittered targets of bar girl affection. The girl takes the house and the man is left on the street with nothing.
Bill Manuel, an Irish gentleman, had bought his wife a lovely house and she had, in time honoured tradition, thrown him out. She had moved in three of her relatives to occupy the space and was courting another foreign gentleman.
While she was out on the town with her new suitor, Mr. Manuel popped round to the house he had bought, and set in on fire. The once loving wife returned to a pile of ashes and three shaken relatives who demanded to know where they were going to sleep that night.
How delightful.
