A delightful short story about an owner of a house in Lwow - Mrs Dulska. A woman presenting herself as a paradigm of morality for all her tenants, rents one of her apartments to a well-off prostitute, charging her very high rent and forcing her to admit her customers through the back door of the premises. All goes well till Mrs Dulska's son comes across the woman and uses her services in lieu of her rent. Mrs Dulska is unhappy wants to get rid of the woman, especially that soon after her young child arrives - a few years old boy of mixed race. Mrs Dulska attacks the woman at the yard and tells her to leave, as her reputation is at stake in the whole neighbourhood. The woman responds to Mrs Dulska in German, which neither she, nor any of the witnessing tenants don't know. Mrs Dulska approaches a local court to claim compensation. Unfortunately, during the court case a judge establishes that Mrs Dulska cannot claim being disabused by the woman, as she cannot say what the woman was telling her when the argument happened. Mrs Dulska continues to claim her moral superiority and accuses the judge for taking sides. Fortunately, she refuses to repeat her comments, having been warned by the judge of her potential offence and penalty involved.
