Sunday, July 10:
R. calls me at 8 o’clock, I make haste, he and Siegfried take me to the station. Parting! Oh, how strong the feeling that we should die together! Journey as in a dream, and dreamy delight in lark song and villages. At 1 o’clock Lusch at the station, very, very good, the poor, dear child! [Telegram to Wahnfried enclosed, announcing C. W.’s safe arrival in Nürnberg.] Sad accounts of her father’s state of health. She leaves me at 2 o’clock. The sad time! Who could, who would wish to be happy? Hans with me from 4 to 6:30. Attempt to quell the violent outbursts on his part and overcome his unfairness toward Daniela. Unsolvable task! He begs me to stay here through tomorrow morning, since he has not, as he intended, explained to me what he wants. I consent. [Enclosed C. W.’s telegram to R. W., sent at 7:25 P.M.: “Good spirits, if little yet achieved, another interview arranged for tomorrow morning subject to your approval. Would then catch 1 o’clock train. Also perhaps dentist. My whole being comes to you in greeting.”] Evening all three together! Melancholy animation!
