The express trains no longer stop at Güllen; the town is too broke to be worth it. Then someone pulls the emergency brake, and down steps Claire Zachanassian, the richest woman in the world, with a butler, a black panther in a cage, two blind men who speak in chorus, and a coffin she has brought along for later.

The world made me a whore; now I make it a brothel.
The Visit, Friedrich Dürrenmatt
