Yesterday, when I took leave she seized me by the hand, andsaid, “Adieu, dear Werther.” Dear Werther! It was the firsttime she ever called me dear: the sound sunk deep into myheart. I have repeated it a hundred times; and last night, ongoing to bed, and talking to myself of various things, I suddenlysaid, “Good night, dear Werther!” and then could notbut laugh at myself.
