Suggested answer
I suddenly heard a peal of laughter in the other room. What was going on? Was there some
comic passage in my essay? The laughter stopped. I dried myself well and thoroughly with the
towel, as if I had wanted to wipe away some ill omen, then I entered the room. “Why are you
laughing?", I asked her gently. She turned back a page and read a fragment again. She burst
into laughter. Yes, indeed, she had come across a text full of gloomy sarcasm. One could even
laugh! If what she had read so far had made her gather a complex of unfavourable impressions,
I thought, this fragment could not have been isolated from its context to cheer her up so much.
