The same day Törless had asked his maths master if he could visit him to have some passages from his last lecture explained. The next day, at lunchtime, he climbed the stairs to the master's little apartment.
Egun horretan bertan, Törlessek bisitatzeko baimena eskatu zion matematika irakasleari, azken ikasgaiko zenbait punturi buruzko azalpenak jasotzeko.
