Monday, May 8:
Bad night and a very wretched day with a toothache; leeches applied, some relief. R. has to receive Frl. Scheffsky, particularly recommended to him by Councillor Diifflipp as a modest and diligent girl. Her voice and personality are good, and he accepts her for Sieglinde; she complains about her position in Munich, says the King is the only one who shows her favor, and that in order that she might see who her friends were, he had sent her the conductors' and managers' reports - to the effect that 'nothing would come of her.'
