It was a hot night, and I could not sleep. I got up and looked out the window. The sky was very clear, with a half-moon the west and many twinkling stars.

While I was absorbed the scene, I heard a moaning sound the next flat. I listened for a while. I thought first that somebody there was snoring and perhaps raising this cry his dream. But the moaning sound continued. Other sounds followed it. They were so confusing that I could not understand what it was all about. I felt the sound came two persons quarrelling. I wondered what could have been the matter that hour the night.

The quarrelling noise increased. Now and then, I could identify a voice that appeared to be begging. Very soon, I heard the noise blows and a shrill cry a woman. Still, I hesitated to move out and go and see what the matter was. True, the neighbour was an acquaintance mine, but the hour the night and the nature the voice resisted me going out to interfere.

While I was thinking about it, I heard a sudden crash, as though something heavy had fallen. A fearful cry followed this, and silence after. I feared something horrible had happened. So I ran out and went to the neighbour's door and knocked it. It was opened by my neighbour, who appeared dismay and bewilderment. After some excuses, I enquired what the matter was.

He took me and showed me a scene. There lay his wife curled her bed. A few chairs had been turned upside down disarray. The neighbour showed me a chair to sit . Then, he told me that his wife had been hysterical and would now and then create scenes the night. The struggle started when he tried to quieten her, but she would not. Then she pushed the chair vehemently, which was the cause for the crash. After a cry, she fell into a swoon. It appeared he took it easy because it was a common occurrence. While I sought his excuse for disturbing him, he begged my pardon for having disturbed my peace night. I bade him good-night and returned to my room.
