When death overtook Herr Winckler, from whose mouth Zeno used to hear many bitter tirades against the elixir, and Melchior's son found himself entirely alone, and making always more enemies by his irrepressible instinct to speak out what he thought to be the truth, he would sometimes ask himself if it were not better to destroy the elixir, which had brought him nothing but misery, and thus to spare his son and succeeding generations.
"Yes," said the duke; "I cleared myself." "Henri, above all things, stop proceedings about Melchior's two appointments." After writing half a dozen lines to the beautiful Diane de Maufrigneuse, and a short hint to Mademoiselle d'Herouville, Eleonore sent the following answer like the lash of a whip through the poet's lies. To Monsieur le Baron de Canalis:
He remained in this horrible condition for an age, as it seemed to him, until the door opened, and Louisa came in with a basket of linen on her arm. She gave a cry, let the basket fall, rushed at Jean-Christophe, and with a violence which seemed incredible in her she wrenched Melchior's arm, crying: "Drunken, drunken wretch!" Her eyes flashed with anger.

Then, having charged her not to speak of it to any one, he confided to her that this beautiful woman was Melchior's young wife, and the little boy their first-born and his grandchild who would carry on the name of Ueberhell.
The elixir had undoubtedly changed Melchior's son to an incredible extent; from an easily-led, pleasure-loving youth, Zeno became a self-contained man almost a recluse and he won for himself the reputation of being one of the severest judges on the Leipsic bench. High and low doffed their hats to him with respect, but he was not popular.
Jean-Christophe explained that they would have to put all the family money, even Melchior's contribution, into the hands of some one else, who would dole it out to Melchior day by day, or week by week, as he needed it.
Jean-Christophe, who had not budged, stopped his ears so as not to hear Melchior's vicious voice and the tittering comments of the neighbors.... ... Suddenly a strange terror seized him; for no reason he began to tremble, with his face hidden in his hands. And on the instant a piercing cry made him raise his head. He rushed to the door....
We soon arrived, and were joyfully received by Fleta and Nattee. As we walked across the common, I observed to Melchior, "I wonder if these stars have any influence upon mortals, as it was formerly supposed?" "Most assuredly they have," rejoined Melchior. "I cannot read them, but I firmly believe in them." I made the above remark, as I had often thought that such was Melchior's idea.
We can read it for a shilling, and then I may discover what are the grounds of Melchior's conduct, for, to me, it is still inexplicable." "Are wills made in Ireland registered here, or at Doctor's Commons in London?" "In Dublin, I should imagine." But on my arrival at Dublin I felt so ill, that I was obliged to retire to bed, and before morning I was in a violent fever.
