WOW it took a REALLY long time to get there, given all the interminable wedding negotiations! There were sure a lot of them.
That's what I thought! I was like, we're almost done with the book and she's still not married yet?? I mean, I was being hyperbolic, but still. :P
I LOVE that you and I had the same fic-related reactions!
OMG. That would have been HILARIOUS and I am deeply mourning the missed opportunity :D
I now have this mental image of your FW painting your Fredersdorf, it's GREEEEAT. :D
I hope that was partly a rhetorical device!
I know, right? Especially since she ended up taking care of the kid for a while!
Well, that's exactly why I hope it was exaggerated for effect! If the kid didn't end up in her care, it wouldn't matter.
Definitely emotional incest going on here.
So I just got to the part in W's memoirs where she's like, "My new husband's sister, Wilhelmine, was hoping to marry my brother, and it would have been awesome if they'd been well-suited to each other, but she was kind of awful, so no."
And I was like...symbolic double incest? Also, can you imagine if Fritz's wife was named Wilhelmine, our heads would explode from all the confusion. :P I confess I'm glad that one didn't work out. BAD ENOUGH that I kept reading "Wilhelmine and Friedrich" in Oster as the siblings.
