Saturday, August 21:
R. has completed his copying; I, concerned about Lusch’s health, allow her to run around while I ink in my page of the score. At lunch the Serovs and Herr and Frau Avenarius, neither of the last two very pleasant; he in particular is terribly crude.
Serov shows me an article by Mme Mendès which horrifies me. I do not think we shall be able to have much more to do with these people. R. is extremely hurt.
In the evening a visit from Professor Nietzsche, very pleasant as always. The King is traveling to Landshut and has been to the exhibition.
