Courthouse
The courthouse is of the same vintage as the other governmental buildings in the
area, dating from around 1990 or so. An exit leads southeast.

The court is in session. A woman is being tried for petty theft.

>GO TO WOMAN
He's here!

This is because V-WALK-TO treats actors as male by default, and only makes exceptions for Interface Mode (where everyone is an "it") and for JILL (who is a "she"). It should probably make an exception for WOMAN as well:

        <COND (<AND <FSET? ,PRSO ,ACTORBIT>
                <NOT <EQUAL? ,HERE ,INTERFACE-ROOM>>>
               <COND (<PRSO? ,JILL>
                  <TELL "She">)
                 (T
                  <TELL "He">)>)
              (T
               <TELL "It">)>
        <TELL "'s here!" CR>)

I don't think we need to make an exception for PROSTITUTE, since she's never actually there.
