Re: No Pity for the Wives readthrough (cont) - Seven Years' War

I've totally lost track of where we were in comments, mildred, so I'm just going to go by section :) This seemed like kind of a long section, but I guess seven years is a long time!

When Louise found out about this, she told her brother sadly and bitterly: His silence stems from the fact that he has too much to write, especially to my sister-in-law Wilhelmine.

Aw, Louise. <3

Elisabeth Christine let everyone feel through her imperious nature that she was finally the only queen.

Is this right? Huh. I guess I can understan why EC might want to punch down herself a little for a brief moment until Fritz puts a stop to that

Aw, I remember [personal profile] selenak telling us about that passage where Lehndorff is rolling his eyes that Mina is so upset about Heinrich's wound. It's still pretty funny to me :P

I was really comforted and satisfied that [I am] popular. I don't know how I earned this.

Awww, Louise! No wonder everyone thinks she's so nice <3

He had the look on the face of an angel that he really is now, Louise informed her brother, maybe it is a good thing that he died in his innocence, without knowing anything about the misery and grief in this world. But for a mother's tender heart, it is a terrible pain.

:((((((
...what a year for her :( I can see how she might think that maybe he was well out of it :( But still so sad :((

Okay, Es war sein Verlobungsring -- this is translated as "engagement ring"? Did AW give Mina his engagement ring?? I mean, I guess it's not quite as bad as giving her his kids, but...

...Geez Heinrich, WHY ARE YOU SO MEAN TO MINA. Rhetorical question. But really. Still glad we're reading this after the other Zieburas!
