Thursday, December 7:
Domestic trouble, in which many ugly things come to light. A thousand pities that R. should hear of such things; all I can do is to suppress all signs of ill-humor. Wrote to M. M. R. completes his report to the Wagner Society; he is somewhat hurt that I neglect to ask him about the ending, but I am so tired and also so sad (the children have again been lying!) that I may perhaps be excused. Shall I take Lulu to Mannheim after all, in spite of having told her she must stay behind as a punishment for her recent bad transgressions?? — This question weighs on my mind.
