"It was not until late at night that the gaslight in the living room was putout, and now it was easy to see that his parents and sister had stayedawake all that time, as they all could be distinctly heard as they wentaway together on tip-toe. It was clear that no-one would come intoGregor's room"(Pg, 15)
"Although Gregor wasn't able to hear any news directly he did listen tomuch of what was said in the next rooms, and whenever he heardanyone speaking he would scurry straight to the appropriate door andpress his whole body against it. There was seldom any conversation,especially at first, that was not about him in some way, even if only insecret."(Pg, 17)
"He spent the whole night there. Some of the time he passed in a lightsleep, although he frequently woke from it in alarm because of hishunger, and some of the time was spent in worries and vague hopes..."(Pg, 15)
What would happen to me? I am worried. I am also hungry
When explaining things, his father repeated himself several times,partly because it was a long time since he had been occupied with thesematters himself and partly because Gregor's mother did not understandeverything the first time. From these repeated explanations Gregorlearned, to his pleasure, that despite all their misfortunes there was stillsome money available from the old days.(Pg, 18)
"his sister, in her goodness, actually did bring. In order totest his taste, she brought him a whole selection of things, all spreadout on an old newspaper. There were old, half-rotten vegetables; bonesfrom the evening meal, covered in white sauce that had gone hard; afew raisins and almonds; some cheese..."(Pg, 16)
I brought you some food, so we can figure what kind of food you like.
I guess they don't want to tell me many things.
I feel relieve because there is some money left in the family and I would not feel guilty anymore.
