Clearly, an AU is called for where successfully escaped Fritz has to make a living both as a musician and as a ghost writer, since FW has entirely cut him off from funding, and mean Uncle George won't give him any money, either. And sugar daddy Suhm is out of funds.
YES PLEASE. Also, sugar daddy Suhm doesn't have any funds that I know of until he joins the Russian court in 1737, so that's plenty of time for Fritz to be in need of a source of income.
This also gives him the opportunity to feel smug as having been the other, excuse, THE ONLY man, since he dates the event as happening in 1743 or 1740 if he claims Voltaire was en route back from Potsdam.
LOLOL. Also, yes, Fritz couldn't imagine her making a suicide attempt over anyone else, no way.
"Brings back one bad memory in particular" is I think what Ziebura quotes him as saying; the book is back at the library, so I can't check.
All I have is your original write-up, which doesn't include a direct quote, but close enough:
Heinrich: Dear Ferdinand, guess what? Big sis wrote her memoirs. Lots of stories I had no idea about, though there was one that brought up a really bad memory from when I was four.
Self: Oh. You mean the hair drag scene where according to Wilhelmine the younger sibs, including you, begged FW for her life?
I have to quote the rest, just because it makes me laugh so much:
Heinrich: Friedrich she describes the way I remember him....
Self: She DOES?!?
Heinrich: ...a paranoid mean-tempered bastard once he got on the throne, though charming as a boy. I guess. Everyone is.
Self: Christ.
Heinrich: Have now been inspired to reread his letters.
