Right? I knew you had missed it, so I capslocked it for you. She sneaks that past you in the midst of all her sympathy for FW and his poor physical health and how he just wanted his family to go along with all his whims and suck up to him all the time, is that too much to ask? (There's pages of this, I just excerpted.)
She's vicious to Sophia Dorothea and says she was making up all the claims of abuse, lying through her teeth, because her husband loved her and always treated her extremely well. Now, I'm as critical of SD as I am of adult!Fritz, but wow, um, no, FW was pretty awful to his wife too.
The intro says Mitford's crazy about adult!Fritz, so I bet she just victim-blames all his victims too. I can fill in the blanks, I don't need to read it. It's also only 200 pages long, so I don't think I'm going to get a lot of reliable extra detail I don't already have. PASS.
