As
they
turned
the
corner
on
each
floor
they
disappeared
and
would
reappear
a
few
moments
later
;
the
further
down
they
went
,
the
more
that
the
Samsa
family
lost
interest
in
them
;
when
a
butcher
’
s
boy
,
proud
of
posture
with
his
tray
on
his
head
,
passed
them
on
his
way
up
and
came
nearer
than
they
were
,
Mr
.
Samsa
and
the
women
came
away
from
the
landing
and
went
,
as
if
relieved
,
back
into
the
flat
.
They
decided
the
best
way
to
make
use
of
that
day
was
for
relaxation
and
to
go
for
a
walk
;
not
only
had
they
earned
a
break
from
work
but
they
were
in
serious
need
of
it
.
So
they
sat
at
the
table
and
wrote
three
letters
of
excusal
,
Mr
.
Samsa
to
his
employers
,
Mrs
.
Samsa
to
her
contractor
and
Grete
to
her
principal
.
The
cleaner
came
in
while
they
were
writing
to
tell
them
she
was
going
,
she
’
d
finished
her
work
for
that
morning
.
The
three
of
them
at
first
just
nodded
without
looking
up
from
what
they
were
writing
,
and
it
was
only
when
the
cleaner
still
did
not
seem
to
want
to
leave
that
they
looked
up
in
irritation
.
“
Well
?
”
,
asked
Mr
.
Samsa
.
The
charwoman
stood
in
the
doorway
with
a
smile
on
her
face
as
if
she
had
some
tremendous
good
news
to
report
,
but
would
only
do
it
if
she
was
clearly
asked
to
.
The
almost
vertical
little
ostrich
feather
on
her
hat
,
which
had
been
a
source
of
irritation
to
Mr
.
Samsa
all
the
time
she
had
been
working
for
them
,
swayed
gently
in
all
directions
.
“
What
is
it
you
want
then
?
”
,
asked
Mrs
.
Samsa
,
whom
the
cleaner
had
the
most
respect
for
.
“
Yes
”
,
she
answered
,
and
broke
into
a
friendly
laugh
that
made
her
unable
to
speak
straight
away
,
“
well
then
,
that
thing
in
there
,
you
needn
’
t
worry
about
how
you
’
re
going
to
get
rid
of
it
.
That
’
s
all
been
sorted
out
.
”
Mrs
.
Samsa
and
Grete
bent
down
over
their
letters
as
if
intent
on
continuing
with
what
they
were
writing
;
Mr
.
Samsa
saw
that
the
cleaner
wanted
to
start
describing
everything
in
detail
but
,
with
outstretched
hand
,
he
made
it
quite
clear
that
she
was
not
to
.
So
,
as
she
was
prevented
from
telling
them
all
about
it
,
she
suddenly
remembered
what
a
hurry
she
was
in
and
,
clearly
peeved
,
called
out
“
Cheerio
then
,
everyone
”
,
turned
round
sharply
and
left
,
slamming
the
door
terribly
as
she
went
.
“
Tonight
she
gets
sacked
”
,
said
Mr
.
Samsa
,
but
he
received
no
reply
from
either
his
wife
or
his
daughter
as
the
charwoman
seemed
to
have
destroyed
the
peace
they
had
only
just
gained
.
They
got
up
and
went
over
to
the
window
where
they
remained
with
their
arms
around
each
other
.
Mr
.
Samsa
twisted
round
in
his
chair
to
look
at
them
and
sat
there
watching
for
a
while
.
Then
he
called
out
:
“
Come
here
,
then
.
Let
’
s
forget
about
all
that
old
stuff
,
shall
we
.
Come
and
give
me
a
bit
of
attention
”
.
The
two
women
immediately
did
as
he
said
,
hurrying
over
to
him
where
they
kissed
him
and
hugged
him
and
then
they
quickly
finished
their
letters
.
After
that
,
the
three
of
them
left
the
flat
together
,
which
was
something
they
had
not
done
for
months
,
and
took
the
tram
out
to
the
open
country
outside
the
town
.
They
had
the
tram
,
filled
with
warm
sunshine
,
all
to
themselves
Leant
back
comfortably
on
their
seats
,
they
discussed
their
prospects
and
found
that
on
closer
examination
they
were
not
at
all
bad
—
until
then
they
had
never
asked
each
other
about
their
work
but
all
three
had
jobs
which
were
very
good
and
held
particularly
good
promise
for
the
future
.
The
greatest
improvement
for
the
time
being
,
of
course
,
would
be
achieved
quite
easily
by
moving
house
;
what
they
needed
now
was
a
flat
that
was
smaller
and
cheaper
than
the
current
one
which
had
been
chosen
by
Gregor
,
one
that
was
in
a
better
location
and
,
most
of
all
,
more
practical
.
All
the
time
,
Grete
was
becoming
livelier
.
With
all
the
worry
they
had
been
having
of
late
her
cheeks
had
become
pale
,
but
,
while
they
were
talking
,
Mr
.
and
Mrs
.
Samsa
were
struck
,
almost
simultaneously
,
with
the
thought
of
how
their
daughter
was
blossoming
into
a
well
built
and
beautiful
young
lady
.
They
became
quieter
.
Just
from
each
other
’
s
glance
and
almost
without
knowing
it
they
agreed
that
it
would
soon
be
time
to
find
a
good
man
for
her
.
And
,
as
if
in
confirmation
of
their
new
dreams
and
good
intentions
,
as
soon
as
they
reached
their
destination
Grete
was
the
first
to
get
up
and
stretch
out
her
young
body
.
