Overview
After writing to R. and the children, the day turns solemn with rehearsal and then the memorial service for Marie, which moves her deeply. Lunch with Frau von Meyendorff and the sight of her father looking worn out add to the emotional strain, and she ends the evening alone with Alwine Frommann.
