noon
I vowed to myself that I would be different , more patient , with Kromitzki , -- not revolt any more , nor grumble . Contrition , contrition deep and sincere , permeated my whole being . How unspeakably I love her ! Close upon noon I met Kromitzki coming back from a long walk on the Kaiserweg . I put my good resolutions at once to the test , and was more friendly with him . He thought it was sympathy because of his wife 's illness , and as such accepted it in a grateful spirit . He and Pani Celina spent the remainder of the day with Aniela .
