What rejoices me most of all in the whole Mannheim and Munich story is that Weber has managed his affairs so well. They have now 1600 florins; for the daughter has 1000 florins and her father 400, and 200 more as prompter. Cannabich did the most for them. It is quite a history about Count Seeau; if you don't know it, I will write you the details next time.
They knew no more than Heine what good they were getting, beyond the Berlin accent which was bad; and the beer which was not to compare with Munich; and the dancing which was better at Vienna. They enjoyed the beer and music, but they refused to be responsible for the education. Anyway, as they defended themselves, they were learning the language.
As my business and that of my new mate had nothing in common, I gave her a servant and a carriage to herself, and made myself the same allowance. The Abbe Gama had given me a letter from the Commendatore Almada for Lord Stormont, the English ambassador at the Court of Bavaria. This nobleman being then at Munich I hastened to deliver the letter.
To HIS MOTHER. Munich, Jan. 14, 1775. GOD be praised! My opera was given yesterday, the 13th, and proved so successful that I cannot possibly describe all the tumult. In the first place, the whole theatre was so crammed that many people were obliged to go away. After each aria there was invariably a tremendous uproar and clapping of hands, and cries of Viva Maestro!
An edict was also published at Munich, in 1773, according to which both principals and seconds, even in duels where no one was either killed or wounded, should be hanged, and their bodies buried at the foot of the gallows. The King of Naples issued an ordinance against duelling in 1838, in which the punishment of death is decreed against all concerned in a fatal duel.
My mind was set at rest not a little on hearing that you had been able to continue your journey to Munich without mishap. There you will be able to rest a little more comfortably than at the Hecht of St. Gallen. Rest? Ye indefatigable ones! A thousand ardent blessings follow you everywhere. What you have become to me your hearts will tell you.
"She'd write oftener, if you'd answer her letters," he told her, in tones of confidential reproach. "Oh, I don't write letters unless I've got something to say," she answered, as if the explanation were ample. They had taken a house for the summer and autumn, and would do the same in Dresden or Munich, later on, for the winter.
These churches have their lateral chapels arranged like those in the cathedral at Munich between the buttresses, and the church is lighted by windows above them. Such buildings make admirable preaching-halls, but as churches are not pleasing internally. To the east of New Carcassonne flows the river Aude crossed by a bridge, with a quaint little chapel recently restored beside it.
Two days after the French entered Munich that is to say, on the 14th an Austrian corps of 6000 men surrendered to Marshal Soult at Memingen, whilst Ney conquered, sword in hand, his future Duchy of Elchingen.
On the evening of their arrival, a telegram from London was waiting at their hotel. It announced that the missing ship had passed up Channel undiscovered in a fog, until she reached the Downs on the day before Ernest's liabilities fell due. "Do you regret it?" Mrs. Lismore said to her husband. "Not for a moment!" he answered. They decided on pursuing their journey as far as Munich. Mrs.
