La Maison Tellier by Guy de Maupassant
"La Maison Tellier" by Guy de Maupassant is a short story published in 1881. When a respected brothel in Fécamp suddenly closes, its frustrated clientele discovers an unexpected reason: Madame Tellier has taken her employees to attend her niece's first communion in a remote Norman village. The elegantly dressed women from the city create a stir among the villagers, and their emotional presence during the ceremony produces surprising effects that reach far
beyond what anyone anticipated. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
