Excerpt: ...the left. He breathes heavily. He has a handkerchief in his hand, with which he frequently mops his brow. Is this the proper department at last? I am being sent all around the building. Breathing heavily. I hope I am finally in the proper bureau. STROEBEL. What do you want? BEERMANN. Pardon me for a moment while I catch my breath.
