Diary Entry of October 13, 1869
Cold weather and Fidi's worsening rash leave Cosima despondent. She walks with Lusch to Countess Bassenheim's and returns by moonlight through almost southern coloring. Don Quixote in the evening seems increasingly splendid to both her and Richard.
Wednesday, October 13:
Cold, also despondent mood, because Fidi's rash continues to get worse. After lunch, with Lusch on foot to Countess Bassenheim's, also returned home on foot by moonlight. In the evening Don Quixote, which seems to us ever more splendid.
