Well, he had Ariane and his friends there, and while presumably he'd have taken his wife and children with him if he'd had to move to London as envoy, it would have meant uprooting again.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
So maybe he told the Brits not to tell Peter, either, which would have saved Peter from feeling rejected all over again.
Good point re Heinrich. I would guess it depends on whether Fritz thinks Keith was scheming, in which case he needs a firm "no, and stop it," or whether it was all the British, in which case he doesn't want to give Peter ideas. Since his letter says he's leaning toward the latter, let's hope he went, "No, and don't bring this up with Keith ever!"
Lehndorff: This is why all right-thinking people are indignant on your behalf, Sir. But I'm honored to know you anyway.
