Es versteht sich von selbst. Sie könnten eines so häßlichen Streiches fähig sein, daß Sie mich nun nicht wollten Wissen Sie, daß ich auf Zeit meines Lebens beschimpft wäre Meine Landsmänninnen würden mit Fingern auf mich weisen. --Das ist sie, würde es heißen, das ist das Fräulein von Barnhelm, die sich einbildete, weil sie reich sei, den wackern Tellheim zu bekommen als ob die wackern Männer für Geld zu haben wären! So würde es heißen denn meine Landsmänninnen sind alle neidisch auf mich. Daß ich reich bin, können sie nicht leugnen; aber davon wollen sie nichts wissen, daß ich auch sonst noch ein ziemlich gutes Mädchen bin, das seines Mannes wert ist.

These statements of Handel seem, in fact, to point to his having visited Hanover before he went to Italy, possibly before he went to Hamburg, or, more probably, during the course of his Hamburg period, in which case one might conclude that the Electress Sophia had defrayed the cost of Handels Italian journey.Even if Handel made a mistake as to his age, he clearly implies that his first meeting with Steffani took place in Hanover. At Duesseldorf, Handel was sure of a warm welcome, for the Elector Johann Wilhelm was a close friend of Steffani, and his wife was a sister of Ferdinand and Gian Gastone de Medici; he was a man of extravagant tastes, and his opera-house was maintained on the most magnificent scale. But Handel did not stay there long; England was a greater attraction, and he arrived in London for the first time in the autumn of 1710. Nothing is known of Handels early days in London, but it may be safely assumed that he was provided with letters of introduction to persons of influence.
