After spending the first winter in the south it became apparent that the Baroness's health was shattered.

She refused to return to the castle and sent her instructions to Apollonie, who had married the gardener of Wildenstein, and who now with her husband became caretaker of the castle, Three years afterwards the Baroness died without ever having returned.

A short time after that Leonore became Salo's wife, but they were not fated to remain together long.

Not more than three years later Salo died of a violent fever and Leonore followed him in a few months, but they left a little boy and a little girl.

After Salo's death Leonore was left alone in life, so an aunt from Holstein came to live with her in Nice.
