All the same, he tried to take his dismissal well: he rose, wrung her hand, and left her. In the seclusion of his own room, he went through the blackest hour of his life. He began to make final preparations for his departure. His choice had fallen on Stuttgart: it was far distant from Leipzig; he would be well out of temptation's way the temptation suddenly to return.
