Like Wilhelmine, Fritz doesn't believe in ghosts or prophetic dreams, so...maybe the former?
It's been too long since I read this: how much does the ghost have to talk vs. just squire him around? Can one of his dogs be the ghost of Christmas present?
Victorious Napoleon visiting Fritz' tomb - the one Fritz didn't want to lie in, next to Dad in a church! - is a sight sure to shock Fritz the way his tomb shocked Scrooge!
OMG yes. I'm torn between whether this makes Fritz realize the moral of the story is to be *nicer* to his nephew, versus confirming him in this belief that his nephew is The Worst. I mean, realistically the latter, 100%, but we *are* talking A Christmas Carol remake here...
that portrait of hers which Fritz kept in his study is going to talk to him.
