During these days I saw little of Hermine, but the day before the Ball she paid me a brief visit. She came for her ticket, which I had got for her, and sat quietly with me for a while in my room. We fell into a conversation so remarkable that it made a deep impression on me.
Egun horietan gutxitan ikusi nuen Hermine, baina dantza bezperan puska batean egon zen nirean-nik eskuratu nion sarrera-txartela jasotzera etorri zen-eta bake osoan nire gelan eserita egon zen, eta han eragin handia egin zidan elkarrizketa harrigarri bat izan genuen.
