Pius a Sp. Sancto (Pius a Spiritu Sancto)
Passionists; Spencer, George, 1799-1864
Wednesday, August 21.--Mass at the cathedral. I walked with Mr.
Dugdale to the convent of Sisters of Providence joining the great
hospital we failed in entering on Sunday. We got one nun who spoke a
little French to show us over the hospital, but we made little of
gaining prayers. I found palpitations coming from the walk, and so I
came home and stayed till I went with Phillipps to dine at 4 with
the Nuncio. The chief guests were Comte de Zeuft and Baron Frujberg,
_conseilleur d'état_, and twelve or fourteen more. The Nuncio took
charge of the little prayer for England adopted by the Belgian
bishops, and promised to get ample indulgences at Rome for the
masses, communions, and prayers for England. We came home and took
Mrs. Phillipps to tea at Dr. Döllinger's, Baron Frujberg, Rio,
Hüffler, the historian of the German popes of the 11th century.
Thursday, August 22.--Mass at 8. I stayed at home writing to Dr.
Wiseman from 11 to 12; then went with Dr. Döllinger to be presented
to Madame di Frujberg, and her sister Amelia de Mongeras. Talked
about England and prayers. At home I found Comte de Zeuft and the
Nuncio paying a visit. Then dinner at 2½. Mr. Windischman took me to
see the Archbishop, 84 years old. He has his intellect quite sound,
and was favourable to the prayers, but not very zealous. I came home
and stayed till 7, writing to Mrs. Beaumont and Mrs. Canning, saying
office, &c. At 7 Mr. and Mrs. Rio and two children, Dr. Phillipps,
{307} Döllinger, and Windischman came to tea and supper, so a
parting visit. Little Miss Rio got sick with the smoke in the salon.
Friday, August 23.--Mass at 7½ in the cathedral for the last time.
After breakfast a visit from Mr. Dugdale and old Görres, and a talk
with Mr. Woodwich, a very nice young Anglican, whom Phillipps met at
Cologne, and came yesterday to Munich. The horses came for our
departure at 11, but we did not start till ¼ to 1. I sat in the
carriage saying office. We had a pretty journey, approaching a line
of fine mountains. We reached a town called Tegern See, and we put
up at Le Troitteur Hof. When we came to dine, we found ourselves
worse off than we have yet been. No bread without aniseed, and
hardly enough to eat for all but me, who took meat. However, this is
an interesting spot. Out of my window I have a sweet view of the
lake and mountains opposite, with a bright moon upon them.
