## Caption

Mary Richards was not quite ten when the parish sent her north from a London workhouse to Litton Mill, promised a trade and an education.

She worked beside an unguarded spinning shaft a foot off the ground. One evening her apron caught.

She lived. Every bone broken. Crippled for life. No law was broken — there was no law.
