I know that in the evenings when Mummy was working I sort of was
lying there
and hoping that he would not come up
|
and (3 seconds) in (4 seconds) |
We were again alone at home, and I had gone upstairs and gone to bed. |
| and he always used slip pers
so that one heard when
he was coming up the stairs
|
he always used slippers, George
so that one always heard when
he went up the stairs |
When I heard his steps in the
stairway, I understood at once that
he would come to me. I began to freeze and sweat. |
| so that one hoped |
so that one was always lying in the bed hoping that he -
|
I always hope |
| he was just going to see TV |
that he was just going to see TV |
he will just fetch something and
leave again |
| or do |
or do something of the kind |
|
| or that he intended to tell something |
or that he would to tell something |
|
| to Karen or Lucas |
to the others |
|
| about something they had forgotten or so |
that he had forgotten. |
|
| When one heard then that |
But when one heard then that |
|
| he came up and he closed Karen's door |
he closed Karen's door |
|
| - it was always open because she was very scared of darkness |
- - - |
|
| he closed the door [repetition] then
I knew that he was about
to go to my room, |
because he always did that when he was about to go to my
room — then
he closed the door to my sister, [repetition!] |
[cf. the above sentence;] I understood at once that
he would come
to me. |
