 A man walks down the exterior staircase of building of flats; he s dressed to go out, taking care to wrap a scarf around his neck. He pauses as he passes a small window that s about eye high. He ventures to look in, and there a young woman stands at a washbasin, drying her hair, the towel that obscures her face her only covering. The peeping tom gets an eyeful and smiles; he s interrupted by a door opening, the flat s occupant bringing out empty bottles to place on the porch. The man pretends to leave, departing down the stairs, only to return to the window after the flat s door has closed. He again looks in the window, where a surprise awaits.
