I realize that was a typo (a confusing one to me at first), but I couldn't help thinking: Fredersdorf is the one person who is very definitely NOT better off starting a family collection in order to succeed at Fritz's court!

The mind boggles trying to imagine Fritz's volcanic reaction.

Hahaha, OMG, what a typo! All it was missing was a sausage reference (although actually the sausage was implied ;))

Obviously it was a good thing that Fredersdorf didn’t in fact bottom for Heinrich!! I mean, mostly for Fredersdorf, but also for Heinrich. And also for Fritz, if you figure jealous volcanic reactions aren’t good for the body.

Body maybe, but I can only imagine the *psychological* devastation if Fredersdorf betrays him (because that's how he's see it) like that. I'm still hoping we're right that Fredersdorf didn't do anything that Fritz even *saw* as financial betrayal (however unfairly), because after that many years, I suspect that would feel to Fritz like losing the ground under his feet and also confirm his misanthropic tendencies that no one can be trusted.

...mwahahaaaa. Yeah, if Fredersdorf wants to survive, he'd better not.
