“You have a visitor. Or shall I say a patient?”“Olmina?” I stared at her, for now she wore women’s clothing for the first time in many days.“Ah, well, I suspect that all of Tübingen knows now who is staying at the house of Dr. Fuchs, thanks to Hans. For one servant speaks to another, and one student speaks to many! That one with the yellow hair, who knows what he’s said. Anyway, I’m weary of men’s garments. I like the feel of more cloth around me.”“But what’s this you say about a patient?”“It’s that fellow who stood at the door yesterday. And mind you, signorina, I don’t like this. Be careful.”Wilhelm Lochner had returned and requested a consultation with the foreign doctor. Dr. Fuchs thought it odd, and then he considered that it might be rather edifying, or so he told me later. Hence, to my frustration, he agreed without asking my consent.After a short while (I didn’t take long to dress, for unlike Olmina, I liked the ease of dressing as a man, even if everyone knew I was a woman now), I descended the stairs and entered the study, where the two men were seated before a boisterous fire.
