The occasional frowns of pious people on his methods caused him no uneasiness or doubt. He was a man of daily prayer. He was on more intimate terms with God than his critics. The one fly in the ointment of his triumph was the cold reception given him by the religious settlement at Tabor, Iowa.
Here the orator, jingling his staff, interrupted the bard to intimate to the party what they might not have inferred from the description that their royal host was the party indicated, and a full-crowned goblet went round to the acclamation, HOCH LEBE DER HERZOG LEOPOLD! Another stanza followed:
This time she wrote to a girl with whom she had been on terms so intimate that when they left school they had agreed to know each other by names expressive of their extremely confidential friendship, and to address each other respectively as Diary and Journal.
