But
there
was
no
reason
to
worry
too
much
before
he
needed
to
.
He
had
been
capable
of
working
himself
up
to
his
high
position
in
the
bank
in
a
relatively
short
time
and
to
retain
it
with
respect
from
everyone
,
now
he
simply
had
to
apply
some
of
the
talents
that
had
made
that
possible
for
him
to
the
trial
,
and
there
was
no
doubt
that
it
had
to
turn
out
well
.
The
most
important
thing
,
if
something
was
to
be
achieved
,
was
to
reject
in
advance
any
idea
that
he
might
be
in
any
way
guilty
.
There
was
no
guilt
.
The
trial
was
nothing
but
a
big
piece
of
business
,
just
like
he
had
already
concluded
to
the
benefit
of
the
bank
many
times
,
a
piece
of
business
that
concealed
many
lurking
dangers
waiting
in
ambush
for
him
,
as
they
usually
did
,
and
these
dangers
would
need
to
be
defended
against
.
If
that
was
to
be
achieved
then
he
must
not
entertain
any
idea
of
guilt
,
whatever
he
did
,
he
would
need
to
look
after
his
own
interests
as
closely
as
he
could
.
Seen
in
this
way
,
there
was
no
choice
but
to
take
his
representation
away
from
the
lawyer
very
soon
,
at
best
that
very
evening
.
The
lawyer
had
told
him
,
as
he
talked
to
him
,
that
that
was
something
unheard
of
and
would
probably
do
him
a
great
deal
of
harm
,
but
K.
could
not
tolerate
any
impediment
to
his
efforts
where
his
trial
was
concerned
,
and
these
impediments
were
probably
caused
by
the
lawyer
himself
.
But
once
he
had
shaken
off
the
lawyer
the
documents
would
need
to
be
submitted
straight
away
and
,
if
possible
,
he
would
need
to
see
to
it
that
they
were
being
dealt
with
every
day
.
232
It
would
of
course
not
be
enough
,
if
that
was
to
be
done
,
for
K.
to
sit
in
the
corridor
with
his
hat
under
the
bench
like
the
others
.
Day
after
day
,
he
himself
,
or
one
of
the
women
or
somebody
else
on
his
behalf
,
would
have
to
run
after
the
officials
and
force
them
to
sit
at
their
desks
and
study
K.
's
documents
instead
of
looking
out
on
the
corridor
through
the
grating
.
There
could
be
no
let-up
in
these
efforts
,
everything
would
need
to
be
organised
and
supervised
,
it
was
about
time
that
the
court
came
up
against
a
defendant
who
knew
how
to
defend
and
make
use
of
his
rights
.
233
But
when
K.
had
the
confidence
to
try
and
do
all
this
the
difficulty
of
composing
the
documents
was
too
much
for
him
.
Earlier
,
just
a
week
or
so
before
,
he
could
only
have
felt
shame
at
the
thought
of
being
made
to
write
out
such
documents
himself
;
it
had
never
entered
his
head
that
the
task
could
also
be
difficult
.
He
remembered
one
morning
when
,
already
piled
up
with
work
,
he
suddenly
shoved
everything
to
one
side
and
took
a
pad
of
paper
on
which
he
sketched
out
some
of
his
thoughts
on
how
documents
of
this
sort
should
proceed
.
Perhaps
he
would
offer
them
to
that
slow-witted
lawyer
,
but
just
then
the
door
of
the
manager
's
office
opened
and
the
deputy-director
entered
the
room
with
a
loud
laugh
.
K.
was
very
embarrassed
,
although
the
deputy-director
,
of
course
,
was
not
laughing
at
K.

234
's
documents
,
which
he
knew
nothing
about
,
but
at
a
joke
he
had
just
heard
about
the
stock-exchange
,
a
joke
which
needed
an
illustration
if
it
was
to
be
understood
,
and
now
the
deputy
-
director
leant
over
K.
's
desk
,
took
his
pencil
from
his
hand
,
and
drew
the
illustration
on
the
writing
pad
that
K.
had
intended
for
his
ideas
about
his
case
.
235
K.
now
had
no
more
thoughts
of
shame
,
the
documents
had
to
be
prepared
and
submitted
.
If
,
as
was
very
likely
,
he
could
find
no
time
to
do
it
in
the
office
he
would
have
to
do
it
at
home
at
night
.
If
the
nights
were
n't
enough
he
would
have
to
take
a
holiday
.
Above
all
,
he
could
not
stop
half
way
,
that
was
nonsense
not
only
in
business
but
always
and
everywhere
.
Needless
to
say
,
the
documents
would
mean
an
almost
endless
amount
of
work
.
It
was
easy
to
come
to
the
belief
,
not
only
for
those
of
an
anxious
disposition
,
that
it
was
impossible
ever
to
finish
it
.
This
was
not
because
of
laziness
or
deceit
,
which
were
the
only
things
that
might
have
hindered
the
lawyer
in
preparing
it
,
but
because
he
did
not
know
what
the
charge
was
or
even
what
consequences
it
might
bring
,
so
that
he
had
to
remember
every
tiny
action
and
event
from
the
whole
of
his
life
,
looking
at
them
from
all
sides
and
checking
and
reconsidering
them
.
It
was
also
a
very
disheartening
job
.
It
would
have
been
more
suitable
as
a
way
of
passing
the
long
days
after
he
had
retired
and
become
senile
.
But
now
,
just
when
K.
236
needed
to
apply
all
his
thoughts
to
his
work
,
when
he
was
still
rising
and
already
posed
a
threat
to
the
deputy-director
,
when
every
hour
passed
so
quickly
and
he
wanted
to
enjoy
the
brief
evenings
and
nights
as
a
young
man
,
this
was
the
time
he
had
to
start
working
out
these
documents
.
Once
more
,
he
began
to
feel
resentment
.
Almost
involuntarily
,
only
to
put
an
end
to
it
,
his
finger
felt
for
the
button
of
the
electric
bell
in
the
ante-room
.
As
he
pressed
it
he
glanced
up
to
the
clock
.
It
was
eleven
o'clock
,
two
hours
,
he
had
spent
a
great
deal
of
his
costly
time
just
dreaming
and
his
wits
were
,
of
course
,
even
more
dulled
than
they
had
been
before
.
But
the
time
had
,
nonetheless
,
not
been
wasted
,
he
had
come
to
some
decisions
that
could
be
of
value
.
As
well
as
various
pieces
of
mail
,
the
servitors
brought
two
visiting
cards
from
gentlemen
who
had
already
been
waiting
for
K.
for
some
time
.
They
were
actually
very
important
clients
of
the
bank
who
should
not
really
have
been
kept
waiting
under
any
circumstances
.
Why
had
they
come
at
such
an
awkward
time
,
and
why
,
the
gentlemen
on
the
other
side
of
the
closed
door
seemed
to
be
asking
,
was
the
industrious
K.
using
up
the
best
business
time
for
his
private
affairs
?
Tired
from
what
had
gone
before
,
and
tired
in
anticipation
of
what
was
to
follow
,
K.
stood
up
to
receive
the
first
of
them
.
237
He
was
a
short
,
jolly
man
,
a
manufacturer
who
K.
knew
well
.
He
apologised
for
disturbing
K.
at
some
important
work
,
and
K.
,
for
his
part
,
apologised
for
having
kept
the
manufacturer
waiting
for
so
long
.

238
But
even
this
apology
was
spoken
in
such
a
mechanical
way
and
with
such
false
intonation
that
the
manufacturer
would
certainly
have
noticed
if
he
had
not
been
fully
preoccupied
with
his
business
affairs
.
Instead
,
he
hurriedly
pulled
calculations
and
tables
out
from
all
his
pockets
,
spread
them
out
in
front
of
K.
,
explained
several
items
,
corrected
a
little
mistake
in
the
arithmetic
that
he
noticed
as
he
quickly
glanced
over
it
all
,
and
reminded
K.
of
a
similar
piece
of
business
he
'd
concluded
with
him
about
a
year
before
,
mentioning
in
passing
that
this
time
there
was
another
bank
spending
great
effort
to
get
his
business
,
and
finally
stopped
speaking
in
order
to
learn
K.
's
opinion
on
the
matter
.
And
K.
had
indeed
,
at
first
,
been
closely
following
what
the
manufacturer
was
saying
,
he
too
was
aware
of
how
important
the
deal
was
,
but
unfortunately
it
did
not
last
,
he
soon
stopped
listening
,
nodded
at
each
of
the
manufacturer
's
louder
exclamations
for
a
short
while
,
but
eventually
he
stopped
doing
even
that
and
did
no
more
than
stare
at
the
bald
head
bent
over
the
papers
,
asking
himself
when
the
manufacturer
would
finally
realise
that
everything
he
was
saying
was
useless
.
When
he
did
stop
talking
,
K.
really
thought
at
first
that
this
was
so
that
he
would
have
the
chance
to
confess
that
he
was
incapable
of
listening
.
Instead
,
seeing
the
anticipation
on
the
manufacturer
's
face
,
obviously
ready
to
counter
any
objections
made
,
he
was
sorry
to
realise
that
the
business
discussion
had
to
be
continued
.
239
So
he
bent
his
head
as
if
he
'd
been
given
an
order
and
began
slowly
to
move
his
pencil
over
the
papers
,
now
and
then
he
would
stop
and
stare
at
one
of
the
figures
.
The
manufacturer
thought
there
must
be
some
objection
,
perhaps
his
figures
were
n't
really
sound
,
perhaps
they
were
n't
the
decisive
issue
,
whatever
he
thought
,
the
manufacturer
covered
the
papers
with
his
hand
and
began
once
again
,
moving
very
close
to
K.
,
to
explain
what
the
deal
was
all
about
.
"
It
is
difficult
,
"
said
K.
,
pursing
his
lips
.
The
only
thing
that
could
offer
him
any
guidance
were
the
papers
,
and
the
manufacturer
had
covered
them
from
his
view
,
so
he
just
sank
back
against
the
arm
of
the
chair
.
Even
when
the
door
of
the
manager
's
office
opened
and
revealed
not
very
clearly
,
as
if
through
a
veil
,
the
deputy
director
,
he
did
no
more
than
look
up
weakly
.
K.
thought
no
more
about
the
matter
,
he
merely
watched
the
immediate
effect
of
the
deputy
director
's
appearance
and
,
for
him
,
the
effect
was
very
pleasing
;
the
manufacturer
immediately
jumped
up
from
his
seat
and
hurried
over
to
meet
the
deputy
director
,
although
K.
would
have
liked
to
make
him
ten
times
livelier
as
he
feared
the
deputy
director
might
disappear
again
.
He
need
not
have
worried
,
the
two
gentlemen
met
each
other
,
shook
each
other
's
hand
and
went
together
over
to
K.
's
desk
.
The
manufacturer
said
he
was
sorry
to
find
the
chief
clerk
so
little
inclined
to
do
business
,
pointing
to
K.
who
,
under
the
view
of
the
deputy
director
,
had
bent
back
down
over
the
papers
.
240
As
the
two
men
leant
over
the
desk
and
the
manufacturer
made
some
effort
to
gain
and
keep
the
deputy
director
's
attention
,
K.
felt
as
if
they
were
much
bigger
than
they
really
were
and
that
their
negotiations
were
about
him
.
Carefully
and
slowly
turning
his
eyes
upwards
,
he
tried
to
learn
what
was
taking
place
above
him
,
took
one
of
the
papers
from
his
desk
without
looking
to
see
what
it
was
,
lay
it
on
the
flat
of
his
hand
and
raised
it
slowly
up
as
he
rose
up
to
the
level
of
the
two
men
himself
.
He
had
no
particular
plan
in
mind
as
he
did
this
,
but
merely
felt
this
was
how
he
would
act
if
only
he
had
finished
preparing
that
great
document
that
was
to
remove
his
burden
entirely
.
The
deputy
director
had
been
paying
all
his
attention
to
the
conversation
and
did
no
more
than
glance
at
the
paper
,
he
did
not
read
what
was
written
on
it
at
all
as
what
was
important
for
the
chief
clerk
was
not
important
for
him
,
he
took
it
from
K.
's
hand
saying
,
"
Thank
you
,
I
'm
already
familiar
with
everything
"
,
and
lay
it
calmly
back
on
the
desk
.
K.
gave
him
a
bitter
,
sideways
look
.
But
the
deputy
director
did
not
notice
this
at
all
,
or
if
he
did
notice
it
it
only
raised
his
spirits
,
he
frequently
laughed
out
loud
,
one
time
he
clearly
embarrassed
the
manufacturer
when
he
raised
an
objection
in
a
witty
way
but
drew
him
immediately
back
out
of
his
embarrassment
by
commenting
adversely
on
himself
,
and
finally
invited
him
into
his
office
where
they
could
bring
the
matter
to
its
conclusion
.
"
It
's
a
very
important
matter
,
"
said
the
manufacturer
.
"
I
understand
that
completely
.
