Re: Fritz-Duhan Follow-Up

[mildred_of_midgard]

Yes, that's interesting. Is Wilhelmine also more financially dependent on FW than Charlotte at this point? I wonder if FW meddles in her affairs more, and is more likely to be irritable if Surrogate Father Figure (TM) shows up.

Wilhelmine asking for Duhan, btw, confirms that she liked and respected him for his own sake, not just as a "keeps Fritz from boyfriends people who aren't me bad influence" factor.

Yeah, definitely, and the three other brothers going to Duhan's deathbed shows that opinion was held more generally among FW's offspring most of whom could use a surrogate father figure who wasn't Fritz.
