Но не стану развлекаться их описанием. В общем-то ясно: я почувствовал страх или что-то в этом роде. Если я пойму хотя бы, чего я испугался, это уже будет шаг вперед...

"I'd really like some meat!" Ammon repeated with a sigh.
Somebody coughed emphatically, and another person began to breathe
noisily in the corner.
Ammon grew bored and went out into the foyer. A servant handed him his
coat.
"I'll send you a turkey," said Ammon, "eat to your heart's content."
"Oh, sir!" objected the emaciated old servant, sadly shaking his head.
"If only you were used to our regimen...."

people. I've known a lot of them. One, a hermaphrodite, was wed to a man and
then, after getting divorced, married a woman. A second, who was once a
priest, invented a machine that sang bass; he grew rich, killed a circus
snake with his teeth on a bet, kept a harem in Cairo, and now is a cheese
merchant...
