A man and a woman took a long time to choose a passenger car for themselves. It was the man who hesitated the most when choosing a vehicle. The reason for the hesitation was the cost of the road tax sticker. However, the choice was made in favor of a foreign car, which cost two hundred thousand francs. Having purchased a passenger car, the couple got into the car, left the car showroom and went to their place. But the first problems had already arisen with the performance of the new purchase. The man’s irritation was caused by the unstable operation of the fuel gauge.

When Monday came, the Frenchman asked his secretary to call Salomon. For a moment the thought of the girl’s small breasts flashed through the man’s mind. But he quickly dismissed those thoughts, as cheating could have cost the man a great deal. At that moment he remembered his dialogue with his companion, where they had calculated the amount they would have to pay for alimony. Even now he no longer cared. A trip out of town was planned for today.
