But Grete's words had made her mother quite worried, she stepped to one side, saw the enormous brown patch against the flowers of the wallpaper, and before she even realised it was Gregor that she saw screamed: "Oh God, oh God!" Arms outstretched, she fell onto the couch as if she had given up everything and stayed there immobile.
Pero justamente las palabras de Grete inquietaron a la madre, se echó a un lado, vio la gigantesca mancha pardusca sobre el papel pintado de flores y, antes de darse realmente cuenta de que aquello que veía era Gregorio, gritó con voz ronca y estridente: – ¡Ay Dios mío, ay Dios mío! – y con los brazos extendidos cayó sobre el canapé, como si renunciase a todo, y se quedó allí inmóvil.
