I agree, Fritz doesn't fork over the cost of an expensive salmon to send to just anyone.
Heinrich, being locked out from Fritz' larder after the first successful raid: No kidding!
Heinrich: *avenges himself by writing to Mom and telling her to send Ferdinand from Berlin as well, Fritz would gladly babysit him, too*
Ferdinand: *arrives with self made bow and arrow and promptly manages to hit one of Fritz' dogs (not dangerously, it's a self made arrow, but still)*
Dog: *whines indignantly*
Fritz: You are the vilest creature our parents ever produced!
Ferdinand: *not up for this, has trembling lips and teary eyes+
Heinrich *definitely up for this*: No, that's you!
Fritz: *switches tactics and puts two freshly grown fruits into both their mouths* Now will you two shut up and leave me read in peace?
Ferdinand: *munches*
Heinrich: *munches but simultanously moves towards the latest letter from Voltaire*
Fredersdorf: To be continued!
So yes, the charming was mutual. (...). Fritz the great editor of history.
I suspect he was retrospectively embarassed to have actually liked a) his arch nemesis' nearest and dearest, and b) someone who by his own (and his century's) definition of manliness was a complete failure as a man and prince, yet c) somehow for all that for the most part leading a happy life as the nominal first and de facto second highest ranking person of their world, with a spouse who loved him and children who did as well.
I remember you telling us about this one! And yes, my first thought was a medieval knight (or troubadour works too) to his lady.
I had been familiar with the later part of the letter (about EC and the ribbon request), but not with the earlier part about FS. Presumably the audio version thought no one would know or care who the Duke of Lorraine was.
