wrecked it. Sweet Ginger is horrified to think what may have happened to Jug Ears, but Cora is even more incensed by the thought of losing all the garden equipment which Sweet Ginger has been keeping for her. This gang warfare, she says, is becoming a serious hindrance to trade, and she leads the street-girls out on strike. At the wrecked ironmongery shop Sweet Ginger remembers Jug Ears' words about being free. When Mortiss appears, the charge against him having been dropped by Cora who now has more important things to think about, she tells him that she is now ready to make a fresh start. But she cannot bring herself to leave Jug Ears, and breaks it to Mortiss that she cannot even consider marrying him and going off to Kansas. This comes as a surprise to Mortiss, and suddenly realising that she has built up a dream world around herself he tells her that she must come down to earth and stop being so romantic. When Jug Ears returns, unscathed by The Carver's bomb, Sweet Ginger knows that their future should be together - but there is still the obstacle of Luigi. When he arrives, however, he turns out to be no baby, but a full-grown Italian policeman - a fact which finally decides Jug Ears to pursue the path of virtue in future rather than the Crooked Mile.
