The record — long form
Miss Molly's is the layered — the 'Palace Rooms' that's the 1910 prim, the 'Gayatte bordello' that's the '40s turned. The 'smallpox' is the died — the 'Miss Josie, Amelia, child' that's the three lost, the 'mediums named' that's the spirits identified. The 'cowboy Jake' is the seen — the 'Railroader's Room' that's the hall walked, the 'feet rubbed' that's the guests' report.
The 'Stockyards' is the heart — the 'Exchange Avenue' that's the cattle town, the 'oldest B&B' that's the city's first. The 'sign outside' is the kept — the 'street ladies pay advance' that's the era's honesty, the 'no phones, no TVs' that's the past preserved. Miss Molly's is the friendly — the 'kindred spirits' that's the owner's word, the 'want to be here' that's the ghosts' choice.
The file keeps Miss Molly's: the bordello past, the smallpox three, the cowboy Jake, and the willing ghosts.
Miss Molly's is the archive's Texas file — the brothel that stayed hospitable.
