Baroness Wallerstaetten, the mistress of the castle at that time, had often consulted the rector as to many things.

Apollonie, a young girl then, had always been her messenger, and everyone liked to see her at the rectory.

When it was discovered how quick and able young Apollonie was, things were more and more given into her charge at the castle.

The Baroness hardly undertook anything in her household without consulting Apollonie and asking her assistance.

The children, who were growing up, also asked many favors from her, which she was ever ready to fulfill.
