Saturday, May 21:
R. dreams that I go away and that I tell Jouk., who tries to intercede, that he is a sheep, which makes us all laugh. There is nowhere for him to go - the Eyssers are working on the surprise, and in the hall we are holding rehearsals!
At lunch he says merrily that he wishes he could be given his presents right away! At coffee time the Standhartners appear, father and daughter; introductions and memories of Vienna. For us, “juvenile rehearsals.”
In the evening R. talks about the Count’s essay, and the Count explains his ideas to our friends. Cheerful atmosphere.
