“Wednesday 26. Since I wrote in my journal last there has been very variable weather for the Pfingstfest, which all the Mcheners have looked forward to as their holiday. On Sunday, through the cold wind and white dust we went to the Jesuits' Church to hear the music. It is a fine church in the Renaissance style, the vista terminating with the great altar very fine with all the crowd of human beings covering the floor. Numbers of men! In the evening we went to Bodenstedt's and saw his wife for the first time-a delicate creature, who sang us some charming Bavarian Volkslieder. On Monday, we spent the evening at Loher's-Baumgarten, "ein junger Historiker", Oldenburg and the Bodenstedts meeting us. Delicious Mai-trank, made by putting the fresh 'Waldmeister', a cruciferous plant with a small white flower, something like Lady's Bedstraw, into mild wine, together with sugar, and occasionally other things. Yesterday and today have been drearily rainy and cold. Yesterday we walked under the colonnade at the Hofgarten, looked at Rottmann's frescoes again and went into the Kunstverein. This evening I have read aloud "Adam Bede" Chap. 20. We have begun Ludwig's "Zwischen Himmel und Erde".” Germany 1858 317
