It hit me now.

The book related to Mädchen in Uniform titled Das Mädchen Manuela
(known in English as as The Child Manuela, lit. The Girl Manuela) is dedicated "in friendship and gratitude" to Chris' sister-in-law Irene Hatvany or Hatvany-Deutsch (Hungarian version is Irén Hatvany, surname since marriage is Hirsch, before the family had got baron(ess) title in 1910, Deutsch.)

The marriage was just a way to help Chris whose bad Aunt wasn't going to support her niece financially when there had no longer been sources of money earning. A man Lajos Hatvany (or Hatvany-Deutsch, known as Ludwig in German) was friends with and helped writers and people of art. (Chris studied Art, so . . .)

In the book, Manuela's good Aunt was named Irene von Kendra (in reality, Chris' Aunt Rosalie K(or maybe even Ke. . .)) From afar, she could be mistaken for Manuela's beloved Mum, and she had similar voice.

Beautiful Mum of a friend Fritz Lennartz was named Inge (Chapter four before the part with boarding school.) The girl fell in love with the woman.

Therefore: 1. sister-in-law Irene and a character named Inge. Both names begin with I and end by E.
2. If Irén (Irene) wouldn't be married (plus daughter Emmy), Chris would want to marry her instead and have Lajos and brother Ferenz as brothers-in-law??? :D

The feeling is something which corresponds to *revelation,* but the list doesn't have anything suitable.
