The trial: The student was now carrying the woman up this stairway, very slowly, puffing and groaning, for he was beginning to be exhausted.

The trial:- and then lept down the stairs so buoyantly and with such long strides that he became almost afraid of his own reaction.

The castle: 'What have you done?' he said as if to himself. 'We are both ruined.' 'No.' said Frieda 'it's only me that's ruined, but then I've won you. Don't worry. But just look how these two are laughing.

The metamorphosis: As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect

The trial: The student was now carrying the woman up this stairway, very slowly, puffing and groaning, for he was beginning to be exhausted.

The trial:- and then lept down the stairs so buoyantly and with such long strides that he became almost afraid of his own reaction.

The trial: The strange thing was that the judge did not seem to be sitting in dignified composure...

The trial: Now that she was so close to him she gave out a bitter exciting odour as of pepper

The trial: But he rushed after her, seized her by the skirts, whirled her once round his head...

The trial: 'Like a dog!' he said: it was as if he meant the shame of it to outlive him

The castle: But on approaching it he was disappointed in the castle; it was after all only a wretched-looking town

The castle: 'What have you done?' he said as if to himself. 'We are both ruined.' 'No.' said Frieda 'it's only me that's ruined, but then I've won you. Don't worry. But just look how these two are laughing.

The metamorphosis: As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect

The new advocate: So perhaps it is really best to do as Bucephalus has done and absorb oneself in law books
