haha, okay, that makes sense! I suppose we were only clued into it because we came to it via Ziebura :)

On Fritz and AW: yes on both counts. I can totally see why an invention (or possibly a wishful thinking that got out of hand) might have happened via a nineteenth century editor. And also why would someone at the time make something like that up -- I'm just imagining Sophie going "so Amalie, so glad to hear Fritz sent that nice letter before AW died!" and Amalie breathing fire in response :P
