Chapter V
In the morning my tutor (he was a student of the Cracow University) woke me up early, and as we were dressing remarked: “There seems to be a lot of people staying in this hotel. I have heard a noise of talking up till eleven o'clock.” This statement surprised me; I had heard no noise whatever, having slept like a top. We went down-stairs into the long and narrow dining-room with its long and narrow table. There were two rows of plates on it.
