*nods* He never knew whether FW at any given point would want to torment him, would want actual advice, wanted to torment others through him or wanted others to torment Gundling. I wouldn't have been able to live like that for a week without snapping, that's for sure. Hey, remember how we jokeda bout Whodunits for Fritz long before Mildred wrote her story? How about a whodunit for FW? Everyone thinks it's either Fritz or SD, or (if the Clement affair is still on people's minds) foreign agents, but really, it's Gundling!

Oh, and Sabrow's book reminded me: in the famous painting of the Tobbacco Parliament (that shows Heinrich and Ferdinand coming in, and AW sitting among the adults) - you can see, on the other end of the table (i.e. opposite to the head where FW sits) a hare, who is meant to represent Gundling (the hare being the symbol of a fool and the symbol of a coward both).
