Last Sunday, at 11.30 pm, the painter Vincent Vangogh, a native of Holland, arrived at licensed brothel no. 1, asking for Rachel by name, and gave her his ear saying: "Keep this object preciously". He then disappeared. Informed of this fact, which could only be that of a poor insane person, the police went the next morning to the person she found lying in bed, who showed almost no sign of life. This unhappy man was admitted to the hospice as a matter of urgency.
