He lay on his flabby back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his portly belly, slightly sticky from the onions which had poured out onto it from his gaping mouth. In the next room he could hear his father speaking to the head-clerk about how beautiful a lady Gregor's sister had turned out to be. "Ummm, that's misogyny," thought Gregor, "a woman is way more than just her body, dawg!" His mouth gaped wider and wider as he thought this, and the last remnants of last night's onions dropped from his bottom lip.
