The first had declared that he had never in all his life performed "beautifying operations"; the second examined exclusively the blind-gut; and the third declared Andreas to be "perfectly crazy".

The End
With a trembling voice Lili Elbe read the passage : "When I myself am no longer here, I want my sad book of love to be my legacy, a testimony that I once lived. I imagine that this book will be read, read as few books are, by all who are unhappy in love, into whose hands it shall fall year after year, and I feel as if I could shake them all by the hand. And I have such an unspeak- able longing; it is in fact the only longing that I have, to say farewell to all-oh, none can realize what ultimate peace this would be for me."
