Diary Entry of October 20, 1877

Overview

A new picture was installed and R. kept working on the printer’s copy, but concern over his foot remained intense because he could not easily get outdoors. The day ended with Cervantes interludes in the evening, balancing practical labor with a little theatrical relief.

Saturday, October 20:

Installation of my picture, “Kundry in Klingsor’s magic workshop,” as R. says. He works on the copy for the printers. I am very worried that his foot ailment prevents his going out of doors, which is such a necessity to him.

In the evening the Interludes of Cervantes, Los habladores and El rufián viudo.
