Her dreams come true when she draws the attention of Victor, a bourgeoisie, who invites her to dinner and makes her a lady. But about a year later, she has become tired of him, and thanks to her his money is almost gone. When he asks that they settle down outside the big city, where his money should be enough for a modest living, she breaks with him and picks up a new lover. Victor is trying to shoot her, then himself, but finally gives up. A year later, he is living in a shabby, cold room under the roof, still trying to meet her again, a thing she definitely refuses, and showing him her feelings towards him, by ordering that he should get three Rubels when he leaves the stairs to her house. This has predictable results. Written by Stephan Eichenberg See less
