AbstractPart VI - IX. Henry Merkl continues to experience once again scenes from his life. "So geht es auch dem im tiefen Schatten des Todes unbeweglich daliegenden Herny Merkl, und seine Seele blickt von der Spitze eines dunklen Bergs auf seinen Lebenslauf zurueck. Und Bilder kommen, welcher ihm nicht gefallen und er sieht Bilder, welche ihn beklemmen und ihn aengstigen." Henry becomes involved with two friends, Lui and August. His mother implores him to free himself from their clutches, but to no avail. Henry's work suffers, and he is let go. His mother and his brother Fritz go the church to pray for Henry. Henry attends church and confesses, feeling better. It is decided to send Henry to Berlin to live with relatives. Henry then meets August, whose "Religion ging nicht tiefer in seine Seele hinein, als die Feder in sein Tinenglas." August tries to tempt Henry with wine, but Henry declines. August contemplates "wie er dem Vogel wieder fangen koennte, der ihm aus dem Garn entflohen war." [To be continued.]
