Dolorous in a sentence as an adjective

My favorite bit of wordplay in that book is when he calls Dolores Haze "dolorous and hazy".

> A 1393 London ordinance limiting the parts of the city where sex workers could operate attributed problems with the trade specifically to “Flemish women, who profess and follow such shameful and dolorous life.”This is pretty common even today.
