Maupassant

I read Maupassant's anthology of short stories.
My best story is "La maison Tellier". Set in 19th century Normandi, the story depicts a vacation of protstitutes. They are dubious women, but very naive and pure-hearted at the same time. They took a vacation in order to join a First holy communion of for the niece of the"Madame". They went to a rural area and the people there took them for sophisiticated decent ladies.
When one of the prositutes was so impressed by the ceremony and began to cry, the rest of congregation weeped with her. Even a priest was strongly impressed by prostitute's tear and praise her and friends, not knowing that they were prostitutes. It's very funny scene.
The whole story is funny, but a little tear-milking. Very good story.
