Leider trat gerade der Diener ein und meldete, der Herr Direktor habe ihn geschickt, um nachzusehen, ob der Herr Prokurist schon hier sei; sei er hier, dann möge er so freundlich sein und ins Empfangszimmer hinüberkommen, der Herr aus Italien sei schon da.
Unfortunately, just then the servitor came in and reported that the director had sent him to see whether the chief clerk was already in his office; if he was, then would he please be so kind as to come to his reception room as the gentleman from Italy was already there.
