...toothache, and her husband affectionately suggested a sleeping pill to ease the pain. As soon as she was asleep, Dr. Evenou rang the phone in Simone's apartment twice. A moment later, his mistress stood beside him in her stocking feet. Dr. Evenou uncovered his wife's breast. "Strike here!" he said. Simone struck, and Marie-Claire woke in a shock. "Simone," she cried. "No. No." Dr. Evenou held her close in his arms. "There, there," he whispered tenderly. "Everything's all right." Marie-Claire relaxed.
