K. selbst sah allem ruhig zu, die Krankheit des Advokaten war ihm sogar nicht ganz unwillkommen, dem Eifer, den der Onkel für seine Sache entwickelt hatte, hatte er sich nicht entgegenstellen können, die Ablenkung, die dieser Eifer jetzt ohne sein Zutun erfuhr, nahm er gerne hin.
K. himself looked on calmly, he was not even disappointed at finding the lawyer unwell, he had been able to do nothing to oppose the enthusiasm his uncle had developed for the matter, he was glad that this enthusiasm had now been distracted without his having to do anything about it.
