Es war nun schon wahrscheinlich unnötig, auf den Italiener zu warten, draußen war aber gewiß strömender Regen, und da es hier nicht so kalt war, wie K. erwartet hatte, beschloß er, vorläufig hierzubleiben.
There seemed to be no point in waiting for the Italian any longer, but outside it was certainly raining heavily, and as it was not so cold in the cathedral as K. had expected he decided to stay there for the time being.
