| Long abstract | Vera visits Annelie Freimann, a distant cousin, in Leipzig. At a bridge soirée hosted by Annelie in her home, Vera and Mope meet for the first time. The chapter features several letters between the couple, along with a few of Vera’s journal entries, recollecting their first meeting and first few days of knowing one another. These early letters give an indication of the connection between the two, despite their distance. |
