Immediately after waking thought to K. Note that the opposite to him living woman him with one on her very unusual curiosity observed "and when he rang for breakfast occurs instead of the cook, a stranger, without imagining in the room and denied him - after a brief understanding with another who is behind the door - the breakfast ".
