One will have fine furniture and live in a high-rented house; another will have wines and a box at the opera; a third must give dinners and music-parties: all good things in their way, but not to be indulged in if they cannot be paid for.
The music-parties were held at Fuller's in the summer-time, and Reuben's chance of a declaration by letter looked simple and easy enough. It was but to slip the all-important note into Ruth's hand with a petition to her to read it, and the thing was done.
Ries relates no such thing. Wegeler does, but of a period five years before Ries came to Vienna; moreover, he relates it in relation to Beethoven's dislike to being urged to play in mixed companies, the fact having no relation whatever to Van Swieten's weekly music-parties. Ib. p. 33. Beethoven is now twenty-five. "At this time, as it seems, there has been no talk of ill health."
My dear Hannah, More gaieties and music-parties; not so fertile of adventures as that memorable masquerade whence Harriet Byron was carried away; but still I hope that the narrative of what passed there will gratify "the venerable circle." Yesterday I dressed, called a cab, and was whisked away to Hill Street. I found old Marshall's house a very fine one.
