Hardscrabble Road
“Maybe he imagined a castlelike building with Gothic spires and a moat. Whatever it was, it wasn’t this blank front of a building that faced on the pavement like all the other buildings in the neighborhood, only the wooden door at the side indicating there was more to its property than to those of its neighbors.
The wooden door shielded a driveway that led to the barn. Gregor could just see the other building at the back of the narrow space through which cars would have to drive if they want...ed to park back there. He wondered if the monastery had cars, and if it did have them, what they were used for. The nuns were supposed to be cloistered. They wouldn’t be running around the city looking for the nearest McDonald’s drive-through.
