I thought to-day much about what Aniela had said to me on the way to

the Schreckbrücke. I was particularly struck by the exclamation which

burst from her lips: "You do not know how unhappy I am!" There was

such deep sorrow, such a wail in these words, and an involuntary

confession that she does not love her husband, cannot love him; and

also that her heart, in spite of all her efforts, belongs to me. If so

she has been as unhappy as I. I say "has been," because at present she

is not. Now she can say to herself: "I can remain true and keep my

faith; and for the rest, I trust to God."
