It was the first time that it had come
across Lichonin's eyes, and the student with amazement and
aversion read these lines, expressed in the dead, official
language of police stations. There with shameful, businesslike
coldness, were mentioned all possible measures and precautions
against infections; the intimacies of feminine toilet; the weekly
medical inspections and all the adaptations for them. Lichonin
also read that no establishment was to be situated nearer than a
hundred steps from churches, places of learning, and court
buildings; that only persons of the female sex may maintain houses
of prostitution; that only her relatives, and even then of the
female sex exclusively, and none older than seven years, may live
with the proprietress; and that the proprietors and the owners of
the house, as well as the girls, must in their relations among
themselves and the guests as well, observe politeness, quiet,
civility and decency, by no means allowing themselves drunkenness,
swearing and brawls. And also that the prostitute must not allow
herself the caresses of love when in an intoxicated condition or
with an intoxicated man; and in addition to that, during the time
of certain functions.
