However, even the name of the street was soon replaced by another, more respectable one, in order to efface even the memory of the former unpardonable times.

And all these Henriettas-Horses, Fat Kitties, Lelkas-Polecats and other women—­always naive and foolish, often touching and amusing, in the majority of cases deceived and perverted children,—­spread through the big city, were dissolved within it.  Out of them was born a new stratum of society—­a stratum of the strolling, street prostitutes—­solitaries.  And about their life, just as pitiful and incongruous, but tinged by other interests and customs, the author of this novel—­which he still dedicates to youths and mothers—­ will some time tell.
