"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

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.

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.
