In 1898 she started a brothel in Hull, England, called "Gamine".
It became one of the most notorious cat-houses in Western Europe, primarily for its large occupancy and the (relatively) high prices that were charged.
She died after being run over by the driver of a wagon on Kensington High Street in London at the age of 55.
The character of Gabriella in the cult-classic Mad Dog Time is based on Robin.
