"Once he had received this notice, K. hung up the receiver without giving an answer; he had decided immediately to go there that Sunday, it was certainly necessary, proceedings had begun K makes a first attempted on Sunday and he had to face up to it, he look for the address, which turns out to be a huge tenement building.

He gets lost, and as soon as he was going to give up he knocked the last door and bingo, there it was on the fifth floor "The first thing he saw in the small room was a large clock on the wall which already showed ten o'clock. Is there a joiner called Lanz who lives here?" he asked. "Pardon?" said a young woman with black, shining eyes who was, at that moment, washing children's underclothes in a bucket. She pointed her wet hand towards the open door of the adjoining room" (107). .
             He had finally found the room after going through all those dark, narrow and wired places. This relates to the maze his life was after they have arrested, he felt lost and lonely. The only person he knew really well and was there by his side since he got arrested was Frau Grubach, who was the proprietress of the lodging house in which K lived.
