23. German and Austrian Journal, 133. Irving's journal entry for this date is transcribed in Journals III as “Evening delightful,” but the editors acknowledge in a footnote that “Emily delightful” is another possible reading. In fact, the second Dresden journal contains just such a sentence, though in handwriting that may not be Irving's. Yet the question remains why Pierre or later readers would rub out this particular sentence if it simply discussed the weather. Given the pattern of erasures in this section of Irving's journal, it is more likely that Pierre was making an effort to remove a delicate reference to Emily Foster. See Journals III, 133n71, for a discussion of this entry, and Hellman, 47–64, for a longer discussion of Irving's relationship with Emily Foster.
