His sister, unfortunately, did not agree; she had become used to the idea, not without reason, that she was Gregor's spokesman to his parents about the things that concerned him. This meant that his mother's advice now was sufficient reason for her to insist on removing not only the chest of drawers and the desk, as she had thought at first, but all the furniture apart from the all-important couch.
Pero la hermana era, lamentablemente, de otra opinión; no sin cierto derecho, se había acostumbrado a aparecer frente a los padres como experta al discutir sobre asuntos concernientes a Gregorio, y de esta forma el consejo de la madre era para la hermana motivo suficiente para retirar no sólo el armario y el escritorio, como había pensado en un principio, sino todos los muebles a excepción del imprescindible canapé.
