Only a few pages tonight: Louise is being comforted for the death of son Henricus Minor and the marriage of daughter Wilhelmine by getting to adopt little Friederike after MESSALINA, I mean Elisabeth, is sent off to Stettin, and extremely young!Wilhelmine Encke is now official mistress.
Because Wilhelmine's memoirs are harder, I've been starting with them and reading as much as I can, up to 20 pages, and then doing some Wives before bed.
Wilhelmine is getting easier! I did 20 pages again today, this time in one go, and not only am I reading faster and increasingly not thinking the English translation "out loud" in my head (this has been slowly becoming a thing for a while now), but today, for the first time, I found myself skimming some function words! I've been waiting and waiting for that.
It gives me hope that by the time reading group finishes, I'll be ready to start tackling some of the items on my list, many of them Katte-related. :D
