But the real question is: who gets the puppies? AW in 49 already has kids (one of which he's not allowed to raise), and Louise probably would love to have one for company, too. Since it's a godpuppy of her husband's and all. :)

Pangels also offers a great new Elisabeth factoid: when one of Ferdinand's daughters saw her later in life and was ultra embarassed what to say, Elisabeth cheerfully said to said daughter's companion, a Schulenburg, that the last time she'd seen him was when he was escorting her to Küstrin, and how was he? Absolutely no remorse or shame displayed. Good for her.
