Thursday, October 25:
At last a good night for R., and work. I ink in another page which he gave me; he works and tells me afterward that he is seizing every opportunity to conjure up a little musical paradise, as, for example, when Amfortas is carried to the lake.
In the afternoon R. goes walking in the garden, while I arrange the rooms for Frau von Wolzogen, who is arriving this evening. Letter from Herr Pollini in Hamburg: he wants Die Walküre. R. replies that he will give Die Walküre only to directors and managers who intend to perform the whole of the Ring des Nibelungen.
Arrival of Frau v. W. The first move to Bayreuth on our account.
