"I’m slightly unwell, an attack of dizziness, I haven’t been able to get up. It’s shocking, what can suddenly happen to a person! I was quite all right last night, my parents know about it, perhaps better than me, I had a small symptom of it last night already. Please, don’t make my parents suffer! -Gregor
