Aus dem Buch: "Abermals war eine Reihe von Tagen ins Land gezogen. Der Tuchkramer Henrich Lotefend hatte sich in seine rasende Leidenschaft bis zur völligen Urteilslosigkeit eingebohrt. Früh und spät sann er über die Mittel nach, um trotz aller Schwierigkeiten und Hindernisse an sein glühend ersehntes Ziel zu gelangen. Je weiter nun das Geburtstagsfest in dem Leutholdschen Rebengange zurücklag, um so hartnäckiger suchte sich Lotefend einzureden, daß er sich doch vielleicht über die Zuneigung Hildegards zu Doktor Ambrosius getäuscht habe."
