Berlin Alexanderplatz - pg. 502

Some women and girls are walking across Alexanderstrasse and the square, each carrying a fetus in her belly, protected by law. It is hot, annd the women and girls are sweating outside, but the fetus within sits quietly in his corner, the temperature iss just right or him as he walks across the Alexanderplatz, but many a fetus will fare badly later on: he'd better not laugh too soon.
