The surgery, where I used to make up my drugs, was next to his sitting-room, with a small window between us. Often, if I felt lonesome, I used to turn out the lamp in the surgery, and then, standing there, I could hear their talk and watch their play.
De apotheek, waar ik gewoonlijk de dranken bereidde, grensde aan zijn zitkamer, zoodat ik hunne gesprekken kon hooren en hun spel gadeslaan.
