Yes all the world has a right to be as hideous as it can. And I have no right but to suffer and to choke in my rage. Three vile, ignorant serving-women! Serving-women ah yes, and if they were my servants! If I could pay them! But who serves me! Of what consequence am I! These things goad me, they are like poisoned thorns in my flesh. The infinite degradation of it all, the shame, the outrage!

In the corner of the one windowless room that serves for all domestic purposes stands the earthen pot of black gruel.
