see me, and we sat down on the terrace. We
recalled our common experiences in Vienna; he
seemed to be the same good friend that he was
before, narrated his stories with enthusiasm,
forgot our former small disagreements, and
confessed the truth of some things which he had
before publicly denied. Suddenly he appeared to
remember his duty or some promises which he
had given; he became taciturn, cold, hostile, and
obviously vexed that he had been betrayed into
disclosing secrets. He answered my direct question
whether Popoffsky was in Paris with a brief
“No,” which was plainly false, and we parted.

Here I must remark that the Dane had been
Frau Popoffsky’s lover before me, and that from
the time she had given him up on my account,
he cherished a grudge against me. Now he
played the rôle of family friend with Popoffsky,
who knew nothing of his former relation with
his wife.

Schumann’s Aufschwung sounds over the deep-leaved
trees, but the musician remains invisible
and leaves me doubtful as before as to the exact
house in which he lives. For a whole month
the music continues from four to five in the
afternoon.
