Crossingham's Lodging House,
35 Dorset Street, Spitalfields,
London, England, 1888
Eliza Cooper, 34, was angry.
Her short, black hair was dirty; her brown eyes was cloudy. She focused on Annie Chapman. And she wasn't happy since she caught the attention of Harry Gorton, the Hawker.
"Leave 'im alone! Or yer dead!", Eliza threatened. She grabbed a knife and, holding it in her right hand, aimed for Annie's throat.
Annie kicked her rival in the right hand.
"I won't do no such thing", she said.
"And I want the soap yer stolen from me", accused Eliza.
"I didn't steal any soap", said Annie Chapman, as she left her alone. Because she had to work...And she didn't want Chief Frederick Abberline of Scotland Yard arresting her for assault, especially since the Ripper was still at large in Whitechapel.
