content
When the doctor finally finds time to visit the Chelobitevs at home, the sick head of the house has already made his way to the practice of another doctor. The doctor asks Madam Nadezhda Petrovna Chelobitjewa to reimburse the expenses and waits in the salon. Nadeshda Petrovna unfortunately has no cash in the house and sends the grocer for a ruble. When the doctor is not satisfied and asks five rubles, the argument between man and woman escalates. At the height of the latter, the latter passes out into the arms of the former. After an hour at the fireplace, the doctor - pleasantly touched because seduced by the lady of the house - leaves the dust.
