That must have been hard on Elisabeth, but gosh, it must have been nice for Louise to have a kiddo around, especially after all of hers kept getting taken from her :( She sounds like an extremely maternal sort.
Fritz and AW: Only one way to raise an heir to the throne in this family, and it isn't leaving him to a mom who will be nice to him! Say goodbye to FW2, Louise! Karl Emil: *dies* Henricus Minor: *dies: Wilhelmine: *has to get married at age 16*
I guess it could have been worse, if Fritz hadn't decided to make up for being awful to AW by being extra nice to Louise. THAT WILL.
ETA: No Wives tonight, I was going to, but I think I'm going to try to go to bed early instead. But let me know where you get to, and I'll catch up.
FORTY pages of Wilhelmine memoirs today! And on a workday! My German continues to improve at breakneck speed. I'm behind on commenting, because I decided to focus on German reading today. I'm highlighting things I want to talk about in both Wives and Wilhelmine, and will try to catch up this weekend. I'm also marking items to add to the chronology.
Since we're getting close to the end of Ziebura, I'm starting to work on converting the Oster Wilhelmine bio. After I finish Wives, I want to tackle that one next. Then Lehndorff!
And I've also been low on time these days (idk, this is likely to be a thing from now on, now that the kids are going to bed later) so I'll probably also catch up discussion on the weekend (hopefully).
I second the awesomeness of your 40 page! The APs and I have travelled to the Alps today and will stay there for the next nine days, hiking and enjoying the scenery and the gorgeous food, which is great but means limited online time, so I won't be able to do any more write ups in the next few days, I guess.
:D That sounds amazing! I want pics! :D (including pics of gorgeous food if that's something you're interested in doing :D ) Have lots of fun!
and maybe I'll actually catch up with replying to your writeups in the next nine days, lol
Oh! This probably means I should do the yuletide fandom promo post, huh? I'll try to see if I can do that this weekend. Will probably mostly use the post from last year, at least for Frederician.

I'm caught up to you in reading, and I'm caught up on Wives, though not Wilhelmine, commenting.
26 pages of Wives read today, and 20 of Wilhelmine! I have *one job* this weekend, and that's to read as much German as possible and see where I am on Monday. :)
I see you two updated the fic wishlist with your prompts of choice: woohoo! I shall begin pondering.
There's only a few pages of Wives left, so let me know when you've done it, and I'll catch up the following day. Meanwhile, I'm just plowing ahead with Wilhelmine. :)

I've read up to Fritz's death.

That works out, since I want to go heads-down on German while it's starting to click but not quite there yet.
And thanks for doing the Enlightenment evidence post for us!
