A character in this novel becomes a truck-driver who fears little outside of traffic jam-shattering fire engines.This novel shares a setting with its author's later novel George's Mother. Its main character is repeatedly accused of having "gone to deh devil" by a character who ends the novel by screaming "I'll forgive her!" at her funeral. This novel opens on a (*) street fight between the young inhabitants of Devil's Row and Rum Alley. Mary and Jimmie, the title character's mother and brother, kick her out of their tenement, and Nellie seduces her boyfriend Pete away from her, causing her to eventually resort to prostitution. For 10 points, name this tragic novella by Stephen Crane, titled for a "girl of the streets".
