The gist of his reply was: “I have to study too, you know, and if I can't do that in the afternoons, I won't be able to fit it in at all.
I have to finish the task I've set for myself; otherwise, there's no point in starting.
Besides, you aren't serious about your studies. Mythology -- what kind of work is that?
Reading and knitting don't count either. I use that table and I'm not going to give it up!”
I replied, “Mr. Dussel, I do take my work seriously.
I can't study next door in the afternoons, and I would appreciate it if you would reconsider my request!”
Having said these words, the insulted Anne turned around and pretended the learned doctor wasn't there.
I was seething with rage and felt that Dussel had been incredibly rude and that I'd been very polite.
That evening, when I managed to get hold of Pim, I told him what had happened, and we discussed what my next step should be,
because I had no intention of giving up and preferred to deal with the matter myself.
Pim gave me a rough idea of how to approach Dussel, but cautioned me to wait until the next day, since I was in such a flap.
I ignored this last piece of advice and waited for Dussel after the dishes had been done.
