There must have been different versions floating around. Maybe Heinrich's boyfriends talked. :P
Always a possibility, since I doubt Büsching talked to Heinrich the Anti himself. He's a devoted fan, spelling "He" for Fritz with capital letters all the time. (Which wasn't done, unless you were using the third person singular in direct address, or you were talking of the Almighty.)
. I also wondered if it might be the other way around; if Catt was reading the 1787-1790 anecdotes and incorporating them.
Possible with other stories, bu tnot with this particular one. For starters, Catt's version is in his diary. (Complete with Heinrich getting squeezed in when everyone is hiding under the table, which is a detail not in the later memoirs version.) It also names Frau von Kameka as the courageous FW-confronting protector. The Büsching version just names an anonymous stewardess and does not mention the siblings hiding, let alone Heinrich, it only mentions FW whaling on Wilhelmine. Conclusoin: Büsching might have heard the story from Catt, but Catt definitely did not take it from Büsching. (Again: this story. He might have taken others.)
Does that mean the night of 25th was the one they spent under arrest?
Rödenbeck doesn't say, after giving us the day of arrival and where everyone was lodging, he directly skips to the departure, though a footnote sums up the incident as told by Fritz to Voltaire in a later letter.
He also says that the wife of General Nadasty had taken to Biche, wanted to keep her and had to be asked repeatedly till she was ready to hand over the dog.)
She was obviously a Very Good Dog. *pets her*
Frau von Nadasty: But you told me I could keep her! She's adorable! I want to keep her!
Nadasty: How as I to know the Robber King is dog mad? Look, we've just lost a battle. The way this guy sounds, I wouldn't put it beneath him to go after us just to get the bloody dog back, and I'm in hot water with the Queen-Empress as it is for having to explain how we had time for a raid at the camp but not to win the battle.
Austrian Trenck: Hey, don't look at me. You were the one who told me you forgot your wedding anniversary and could I please bring you something from the camp!
(Incidentally: if Nadasty's wife was so taken by Biche, Biche, at least, can't have been a dog barking at women. Just saying.)
Windspiel/Windhund: actually, they're both still in use.
