On the way home from church, and afterwards, my good spirits rose superior to all my doubts. Minna at once took upon herself the duty of receiving and entertaining her guests.
She thanked Providence that perhaps fate itself sometimes saves us from the full fruit of our follies, after all. "Just a little sugar, thank you, Mrs. Gage," said she as Mary offered her some of the fresh whortle berries. "And these little cakes you made them?" "Oh, yes I do most of my cooking, when I can keep Annie away. You know about Annie, of course. And Minna, Mrs.
I had already informed Minna of this, whereupon she immediately assumed that with my clumsy unpacking I should lose half the things or ruin them all. About a week after I had fairly settled down with my newly arrived Erard grand, Minna suddenly appeared in Biebrich.
Our talk at the tea-table was, I dare say, too trifling to be recorded. I only remember that I enjoyed it. Later in the evening, Minna sang to me. I heard one of those simple German ballads again, not long since, and the music brought the tears into my eyes. The moon rose early that night. When I looked at my watch, I found that it was time to go. Minna was at the window, admiring the moonlight.
But this book that she and Harriett had banished and wanted to burn in their early teens together with "Sandford and Merton."... "You are reading 'Misunderstood'?" she faltered, glancing at the four politely waiting girls. It was Minna who answered her in her husky, eager voice. "D'ja, d'ja," she responded, "na, ich meine, yace, yace we read so sweet and beautiful book not?"

She has no friend of her own age here at Frankfort, excepting yourself. And she has asked me more than once when Mr. David would return from Hanau." My excuses failed me when I heard this. Mr. Engelman and I left the house together.
Every one spoke of the enthusiastic emotion which thrilled the whole city. Next came a letter of thanks from the Commissioner acknowledging my splendid work. Nothing now remained for me but to embrace Tichatschek and Fischer, and go on my way to inform Minna and Clara how matters stood.
Ah, had you but heard him prophesying! His poem was the music of thought. A young girl never uttered those solemn tones of a voice which stirred my soul." "What certainty have you?" said Wilfrid. "None but that of the heart," answered Minna.
I sat with Minna, my sister Clara, and the Heine family in a pit-box, and when I try to recall my condition during that evening, I can only picture it with all the paraphernalia of a dream.
The great change which had come over me in this respect was more apparent than ever when Minna spent a few days with me in Leipzig on her way home. Her familiar and genial presence proclaimed that my days of parental dependence were past and gone. We discussed the renewal of my Magdeburg engagement, and I promised her an early visit in Dresden.
