"They have certainly given us a licking, but they'll have a very heavy reckoning to pay for their temporary triumph by-and-by, Nesbitt, or I am very much mistaken! I suppose you recollect the old proverb, Hodie mihi, eras tibi?"
Always still feeling the loss of Tibi, Nelka did not seem to be able to get reconciled. She wrote to her aunt: Kovno 1914.
