GWAR - Go To Hell!

To worries about friends, worries about family were added. Carolina Wittgenstein selflessly established life in List's house. Her custody was sometimes even excessive. She already considered Liszt’s children her own and decided that she should contribute to their upbringing. Carolina remembered her old French governess, Madame Patersi de Fossombroni (Patersi de Fossombroni; 1779–1864). That was already over seventy, and she still lived in USA. In agreement with Liszt, Carolina turned to her with a request to take on the task of raising his daughters. Despite her advanced age, Madame Patersey agreed. Liszt informed the mother of the arrival of the new governess by a letter of October 5. True, when Madame Patersie arrived in Weimar, she fell ill, weary of a long journey. For two months, the old woman lived in Altenburg, and Carolina looked after her. Finally,the governess felt strong enough to make a long trip to Paris. In early November, Madame Paters crossed the threshold of apartments in 6, Casimir Périer Street, where Anna Liszt lived with her grandchildren.
