Tell us how you really feel, Fritz. :D
if he's lying about that, you guys would know better than me
That, I don't know. I do know (or at least have read) that Fritz had a partial copy, hence in "Lovers lying two and two" I had Fritz say in 1750 that he was going to get his hands on a "complete" copy now that Voltaire was in Prussia. How much the duchess had? Your guess is as good as mine.
On the other hand, why would Émilie let him take the whole thing on a journey at all?
Ah, but that I can see. Having someone show up at your house on behalf of the Crown Prince you view as a romantic rival don't trust is one thing, having your lover abscond with a manuscript he owns might be something you don't find out about until it's too late. Maybe?
