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

                   the countryside and living a simpler life, but a recurring theme, has been the gal-

                   lery idea and taking advantage of his network of more or less well-known artists
                   .Next step is that they should move together but he will leave it up to her and not

                   push on .Now he is aware that he is willing to act on their conversations.
                          He says. "Then we just need to see the storage ceiling, then we have been

                   through it all, strangely enough I did not get a showing up there, Ursula just men-

                   tioned that it belongs. It was as if she tried to escape without, or she could not
                   bear it. just not, but she told that it is specially built with extra thick walls and

                   roof construction, to create the most optimal and safest conditions for storing

                   paintings.
                           "Exciting, ingenious, no the old enough not to dust around on an old ceil-

                   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.
