He is still not feeling well, and he has some soup in the salon while I lunch with the children. He and I then drive to the theater with Loldi, and R. is so pleased with the success of his exhortations to Herr Reichmann (1st scene, Habt Dank, etc.) that he goes to him and gives him a 10-mark piece. At supper R. sits down with the children, but he is very agitated. My mood becomes more fervent as a result, and in my helplessness I call on the God who reveals Himself to the humble. And not in vain! The evening hours after the performance are spent in peaceful chat over a glass of beer.
