The way she held her head suggested she wanted to see Gregor better, but the unthinking way she was hurrying backwards showed that she did not; she had forgotten that the table was behind her with all the breakfast things on it; when she reached the table she sat quickly down on it without knowing what she was doing; without even seeming to notice that the coffee pot had been knocked over and a gush of coffee was pouring down onto the carpet.
Mantenía la cabeza inclinada, como si quisiera ver mejor a Gregorio, pero, en contradicción con ello, retrocedió atropelladamente; había olvidado que detrás de ella estaba la mesa puesta; cuando hubo llegado a ella, se sentó encima precipitadamente, como fuera de sí, y no pareció notar que, junto a ella, el café de la cafetera volcada, caía a chorros sobre la alfombra.
