Once during that long evening, the door on one side of the room was opened very slightly and hurriedly dosed again later on the door on the
other side did the same It seemed that someone needed to enter the room but thought better of it. Gregor went and waited Immediately by the
door, resolved either to bring the timorous visitor into the room in some way or at least to find out who was but the door was opened no
more that night and Gregor waited in vain. The previous morning while the doors were locked everyone had wanted to get in there to him, but
now, now that he had opened up one of the doors and the other had clearly been unlocked some time during the day, no one came, and the
keys were in the other sides.
It was not until late at night that the gasight in the living room was put out, and now it was easy to see that his parents and sister had stayed
awake all that time, as they all could be distinctly heard as they went away together on tip-toe. It was dear that no one would come into
Gregor's room any more until maming that gave him plenty of time to think undisturbed about how he would have to re-arrange his life. For

been iving in it for five years. Hardly aware of what he was doing ather than a slight feeling of shame, he hurried under the couch. It pressed

herself and slammed the door shut again from outside,
[His ster noticed the full dish immediately and looked at it and the few drops of milk splashed around it with some surprise. She Immediately
picked it up using a rag, not her bare hands and carried it out. Gregor was extremely curious as to what she would bring in its place
Imagining the wildest possibles, but he never could have guessed what his sister, in her goodness, actually did bring. In order to test his taste,
she brought him a whole selection of things all spread out on an old newspaper. There were old half-rotten vegetables bones from the
meal, covered in white sauce that had gone hard, a few raisins and almonds some cheese that Gregor had dedared inedible two days
before; a dry roll and some bread spread with butter and salt. As well as all that she had poured some water into the dish which had probably
been permanently set aside for Gregor's use, and placed it beside them. Then, out of consideration for Gregors feelings as she knew that he
