"The Alchemist's Door"

[sergebroom]

"...That sight passed quickly, though the music remained. A young child dressed in a gown of red and green silk appeared in the glass, dancing before him. Her gown changed color as she moved. His skin prickled: he realized that this, at long last, was the angel Madimi. She curtseyed gravely to him, her eyes kind. He understood that this was all he would be granted. But he thought it would be enough."

Thus ends Lisa Goldstein's novel The Alchemist's Door

What did he have to do to get that much?

You'd have to read the novel. I can say that Prague's Rabbi Loew is involved along with his Golem.
