1. Building
Joachim hates
unpunctuality, remember that he stands for discipline.
Third bang of the door
and her she comes, Clawdia Chauchat, the young women , a girl really, who will
have such an impact on Hans that we can safely consider her the second major Mentor
Again there is also
something negative about her: her manners, her uncared hands, her carelessness,
she is married but is alone at the Sanatorium
Hans heart is still
beating too fast and he has now traces of blood in his snot. The cigars still
don’t taste as they should.
2. Time
Sitting at the tables
as if they never left them…. Everlasting dinners? The monotony pleases Hans.
3. Death
Blumenkohl, the most
ill of the table, has to flee the dining room to vomit sputum. He is on his
last legs, Frau Stohr remarks. Blumenkohl vomits in a blue glass container specially
made to collect sputum thought to be infectious. ( See Blue Henri )
4. Eros
-
Behrens sits
at the table of Frau Salomon attracted by her deep décolleté
-
Captain
Miklosisch is a beast of prey when it comes to women, Frau Stohr gets all
excited by it just imagining it.
-
Seeing
Clawdia’s face, Hans is reminded of someone or something. It is an important
detail as you will notice.
5. Geography
Clawdia, like pretty
Marusja is Russian as you could have expected, everything sensual, erotic comes
from the east. She is from the Caucasus , has
blond reddish hair, broad cheekbones and narrow eyes. She is a babe. Her name
can be read as chaud chat, hot pussy! Wohooooo
6. Note
The adolescent boy’s
wiping of eyes will come back later
