10. Chapter V
They shot the six cabinet ministers at half-past six in the
morning against the wall of a hospital. There were pools of
water in the courtyard. There were wet dead leaves on the
paving of the courtyard. It rained hard. All the shutters of
the hospital were nailed shut. One of the ministers was sick
with typhoid. Two soldiers carried him downstairs and out
into the rain. They tried to hold him up against the wall but
he sat down in a puddle of water. The other five stood very
quietly against the wall. Finally, the officer told the soldiers
it was no good trying to make him stand up. When they
fired the first volley he was sitting down in the water with
his head on his knees.

11. Give it up!
It was very early in the morning, the streets clean and
deserted, I was walking to the station. As I compared
the tower clock with my watch I realized that it was
already much later than I had thought, I had to hurry,
the shock of this discovery made me unsure of the
way, I did not yet know my way very well in this town;
luckily, a policeman was nearby, I ran up to him and
breathlessly asked him the way. He smiled and said:
“From me you want to know the way?” “Yes,” I said,
“since I cannot find it myself.” “Give it up! Give it up,”
he said, and turned away with a sudden jerk, like
people who want to be alone with their laughter.
Franz Kafka
