THE GRILLPARZER PRIZE-5

ADDADEMIA DELLE SCIENZE

She was very happy that the Science Academy was presenting the Grillparzer award to me today, she said, even proud, of course, but that she was happy more than proud, after which she got up and I went down the stairs of the Gerstner and we left on Karntnerstrasse.

It was only a few yards to the Science Academy.

The bag with Sir Anthony written on it really got on my nerves, but I could not help it.

I would put the bag down before entering the Science Academy, I thought.

Even a couple of friends had taken the time not to miss the celebration in my honor, we met them in the lobby of the Academy of Sciences.

Already many people had gathered there and it seemed that the ballroom had already filled up.

The friends left us and we looked around the lobby, looking for some person to welcome us.

I went with my aunt several times up and down the hall of the Academy, but nobody took the slightest notice of us.

Let us go in then, I said, and thought: somebody in the room will welcome me and accompany me, with aunty, to our seating.

The lobby looked ready for huge celebrations, and I actually felt my knees were trembling.

Like me, aunty was also looking around to find somebody to welcome us.

In vain.

So we just went up to the door of ballroom and waited.
