I meant to bring this up, but I have it in my head that I didn't, and I also can't find it in our discussions, so here goes: Ziebura *doesn't* think Kalckreuth tried to compromise Mina as a favor to Heinrich. She says he did it in order to bring Heinrich down with him by creating a scandal. Then she comments that Heinrich was disappointed when Mina was exonerated, because it would have given him an excuse to divorce her.

I mean, who knows what was going on in Kalckreuth's head; maybe compromising Mina was a win-win for him. Either Heinrich's grateful and takes him back, or he doesn't but now he's embroiled in a scandal.

Yeah. Kalckreuth, best of boyfriends.

I pity Fräulein von Morrien SO MUCH, marrying him to protect Mina and then dying in childbirth a year later. :/
