I have to wash myself in bits, one at a time, because at Frau Berg's I'm only given a very small tin tub, the bath being used for keeping extra bedding in.
Indeed he had, as yet, but little place in her sad and preoccupied thoughts. For some reason, however, Van Berg's society had for her a peculiar fascination that she could not resist. She scarcely knew whether she derived from it more of pleasure than of pain.
That's what I saw over and over again today as I somehow got through to Frau Berg's to fetch your letters.
