Therefore, without other preface, I will begin my record. Of my voyage out I need not write, as I have spoken of it in my letters already, and it greatly irks me to think of it.

Maybe, there is no help for it; but it irks me to think that I should be the last Lord of Adlerstein to whom the title of Freiherr is not a mockery. Why dost bend thy brow, brother?
She saw that my colour was changed and said to me, 'What ails thee and why do I see thee thus changed? 'My head irks me, answered I; 'I am not well. When she heard this, she was vexed and concerned for me and said to me, 'Fret not my heart, O my lord!
