Dr. Graesler, middle-aged physician at a small German health-resort, reserved, dry, serious, melancholy, had never had the success in life that his natural abilities promised. Left alone by the sudden suicide of his sister, he was vaguely drawn into a search for belated romance and spiritual content. Three women crossed his path. He quite intended to marry the first, but they misunderstood each other fatally, and nothing came of it. The second became his mistress-and died of scarlet fever contracted from little Fanny, Frau Sommer's child, a patient of Graesler...
