The motels are substandard beacause it's the sort of place that condones prostitution.

The wife knows about her husband's affair, unbeknowist to him. She just stays with him for the money. He simply tells her that the meetings withe woman are "strictly business". After the deed is done, she cleans herself up. "fixing her face in a compact is simply a metaphor for putting a face on: trying to forget what happened by putting make-up on, or by just covering up her problems, which is what she's doing. The constable (cop) raids the room, breaking down the door (there was a terrible crash". He makes a proposition in the booklet after "a purse of a different kind". It says: And here is where he entertains that proposition:arrested on posessionor (now if this were you) Think of what you wouldn't want to happen.
