After Leonore's death this aunt took the two children home with her.

I heard this from Apollonie, who had been sent Leonore's last instructions by this aunt.

I never learned anything further about the two children, and only once did I receive word from Baron Bruno through Apollonie.

Your late father, young Rector Bergmann, had married me just about the time when we heard of the Baroness's death.
I followed him very gladly to Sils, because Philip had just bought an estate there and was very anxious to have me close to him.

One day Apollonie came to me in great agitation.
