1 He soon made the discovery that he could no longer move at all.
2 As soon as he had finally finished turning round he began to move straight ahead.
3 He moved very gradually, as if there had been some secret prohibition on leaving the room.
4 He held back the urge to move but swayed from side to side as he crouched there on the floor.
5 And despite this condition, he was not too shy to move forward a little onto the immaculate floor of the living room.
6 And so he ran up to his father, stopped when his father stopped, scurried forwards again when he moved, even slightly.
7 Gregor was so resentful of it that he started to move toward her, he was slow and infirm, but it was like a kind of attack.
8 After a while he had already moved so far across that it would have been hard for him to keep his balance if he rocked too hard.
9 He did not keep still for a moment while Gregor was speaking, but moved steadily towards the door without taking his eyes off him.
