And they let me wait particularly long on that Wednesday, the 27th of July, a good two hours standing and waiting in the anteroom; I remember that date, too, so precisely because in the anteroom where I—naturally, not being allowed to sit down—had to prop myself up on my legs for two hours, there hung a calendar; and I don’t have to tell you how in my hunger for anything printed, anything written, I stared and stared at that one number, those few words—27th July—hanging on the wall; I ate them right into my brain.
