I slid down the column and sat on my heels. The seat that I had taken two steps towards was quickly occupied by the man. He did not even bother to take look in my direction, but then competition for the seats was high...There were six seats for the close to 30 or so people standing around in the corridor or jostling at the door held slightly open by the court bailiff.
I had walked in circles to find this court number 9. I found 7 and 8, then turned a corner and came to a dead end.
