But by this time Malcolm had lost interest in her - because of Sophia. After he jilted her, she began drinking and taking drugs, and finally became a prostitute. Malcolm took Laura to dances at Roseland, against her grandmother's wishes, and in giving her a taste of ghetto life, he led her to her own destruction.
