Thus Goldschmidt's notion that all the clustered Pleiades constitute, as it were, a second Orion trapezium in the midst of a huge formation of which Tempel's nebula is but a fragment, has been to some extent verified. Yet it seemed fantastic enough in 1863.
Twice afterwards he came with humble messages from Goldschmidt asking me to "do him the honour" of paying him a visit. But my pride was touchy, and my determination unwavering. Undoubtedly Steen's letter was sent at Goldschmidt's wish, but it is equally undoubted that its form had not been approved by him.
Again we get our three-to-one Mendelian ratio, but this time it is three hornless to one horned. Especially Goldschmidt's carefully graded experiments point to a similar difference in the strength of the dose or doses of the sex factors.
With this object in view, he invited a large number of young people to a ball in the rooms of the King's Club, provided good music and luxurious refreshments. This man was a cousin of Goldschmidt's, and as he himself was unable to make more of a speech than a short welcome to table, he begged "his cousin, the poet," to be his spokesman on this occasion.
I saw that I had wounded Goldschmidt's vanity deeply by not going to him immediately upon receipt of his communication; but my chief impression was one of surprise that Goldschmidt should reveal himself such a poor psychologist in my case. How could he believe that I would allow myself to be terrified by rough treatment or won by tactless reprimands?
For the rest, he alluded to Goldschmidt's weak points, even if in somewhat too superior a manner, and without laying stress upon his great artistic importance, with leniency and good-will.
Next morning Charlotte, without Gholson who turned off to camp rode on to Goldschmidt's store, just beyond which there was then still a Confederate picket. Here she hired Mrs. Goldschmidt's pony, rode to the picket, and presented the Coralie Rothvelt pass. "Miss Coralie Rothvelt; yes, all right," said the officer, "the men that rode with you this morning told me all about you."
Was it possible that the whole touching story which had been confided to me was a hoax calculated to disarm my antagonism, arouse my sympathy and secure Goldschmidt a trumpeting herald? Was it possible that the mysterious information about the flight to London was only an untruth, the sole purpose of which was to get me into Goldschmidt's service?
And although Goldschmidt's sins against Broechner were in truth but small, although the latter, moreover possibly unjustifiably had challenged him to the attack, Broechner nevertheless imbued me with such a dislike of Goldschmidt that I could not regard him with quite unprejudiced eyes. Goldschmidt tried to make personal advances to me during my first stay in Paris in 1866.
Unless one has learned to trill so it is very difficult to do; but I managed it somehow. Then she said, in her abrupt way, "What vocalizes do you sing?" I replied that I had arranged Chopin's waltz in five flats as a vocalize. "In the original key?" she asked. "I know it well. It is one of Goldschmidt's favorite concert pieces." "Not in the original key.
