From the exhibition room, they pass the old kitchen, which also stands as
if it has not been used for 70 years. They take a quick look at the 2 toilets, both of
which are clad with beautiful patterned tiles, fine polished mirrors on the walls,
art finished, sinks and WC basins of porcelain that are also beautifully designed.
The overall impression is classic and exclusive toilets and kitchen are like every-
thing else in the gallery covered with a thick layer of dust. Katrin laughs liberat-
ingly at the sight.
"I'm really looking forward to be hanging out with you here in this place,
later in the afternoon when I finish my lectures at the university.”
Mitchel answers. “You are very, very welcome. As always.”
Mitchel thinks about how happy he is to have taken the step, for him it is not just
about his dream of trying his hand as a gallery owner, but about proving that he
is willing to put action behind their long talk about their common future .They
have talked about many things, traveling together to Africa for a year, moving to

ing"
Katrin adds. "Let's go up and take a look at it so we can go over and drink
wine afterwards.”
They open a small side door that is located at the end of the dressing hallway at
the back of the gallery. on a switch to the left of the door. Above sits a small lamp,
the crackle which would the bulb in it explode, but the second after the stairwell
is lit instead of a dim yellowish light. Mitchel ascends the front of the seven nar-
row stair steps.
