so now I think it was another case of damned if you do, damned of you don't for her. (Her mother-in-law had critisized her as not sufficiently regal, after all.)
Yeah, first she got criticized for not talking, then she got criticized for talking too much and not having anything interesting to say. Then she's either not regal enough or too imperious.
Sucks to be her. :/
You can practically hear him think "if anyone gets to faint at the prospect of Heinrich being wounded, it's me, and I don't do it, plus we all now how things are between you two, so cut the dramatics!"
This is ringing a bell now that you mention it!
Ziebura seems to think that Wilhelmine, like EC, had the misfortune of actually falling in love with, or at least developing feelings for, her husband.
