His pockets almost burst under the weight, but there was no end to the rejoicing when he flung one handful of silver coins after another on the little counter and told how he had obtained them. No one who heard him relate this story could help liking him. Another distinguished visitor at Hirsau was Prince Puckler Muskau.
On the Enz we had been in the midst of society. The new residence was to afford me an opportunity to lead a lonely, quiet life with my mother and my books, which latter, however, were only to be used in moderation. Shortly before our departure we had taken a longer drive with our new friends Fran Puricelli and her daughter Jenny to the Hirsau cloister. The daughter specially attracted me.
Madame Gallait, a Parisian by birth, was the very embodiment of the French woman in the most charming sense of the word, and the bond which united her to her husband seemed enduring and as if woven by the cheeriest gods of love. Unfortunately, it did not last. After leaving Hirsau, we again met the Gallaits in Wildbad and spent some delightful days with them.

She went with me both in wheel-chairs to a ball at the Kursaal, and looked so pretty in an airy, white dress which her mother and sister had arranged for their darling, that I should have longed to dance with her had not this pleasure been denied me. Hirsau had first been suggested as a resting-place, but it was doubtful whether we should find what we needed there.
