K.T

On entering a strange house and before settling down, Mr K looked for the doors leading out of the house and nothing else. On being asked why, he answered with some embarrassment: “It's a tiresome old habit. I believe in justice; so it's rather important that there should be more than one door out of the place where I'm living.

Whenever Mr. K accepted hospitality
he left his room as he found it,
since he though nothing of the idea
that people should leave their mark
on their surroundings. On the contrary,
he went to some trouble to alter his ways
to suit the place; although not at the expense
of whatever he had on hand.
When Mr. K offered hospitality he would change the position of at least one chair
of table as a way of adapting himself
to his quest. "And it's best for me to decide
what suits him", he would say.
