He directed de Linant, the tutor to his son, to furnish me with these.
Herr Groot sends the kindest remembrances to you. We had musical entertainments at his home yesterday and the day be fore. He always has the latest novelties from Italy, and when we try this motet here " "Afterwards, Herr Wilhelm! You must first tell me what my husband " "The burgomaster came to the doctor on a message from the Prince. He was in haste, and could not wait for the singing.
The piece was a motet composed by Moudonville, the words by the Abbe de Voisenon, whom I had furnished with the idea, "The Israelites on Mount Horeb."

This noble composition, Barbara realized it, would again draw her near her lover, and the confirmation of this hope was not delayed, for as soon as the last notes of the motet and the storm of applause that followed had died away, the Emperor, amid the renewed roar of the artillery, rose and looked around him surely for her. The good citizens of Ratisbon!
