Orieux: yes, "Marie Christine" was his mistake. And LOL about "Sophia the sister of G2" as Mrs. Fritz. Mind you, I feel a bit guilty laughing about both, since pre salon I was barely aware Fritz was married at all, but then, I wasn't writing books featuring him then. As you say, Orieux, writing pre Wikipedia, has the better excuse.
Orieux has two better excuses: he only confused her first name with a common (especially in France) one, not one person with a completely different person, and two, no Wikipedia in his day!
I can laugh totally guilt-free, though, lol, because I knew a fair bit about Fritz, EC, and their marriage already in high school days. Not as much as now (mostly thanks to you), of course! But enough that I wouldn't have called her Sophia and said that she was G2's sister. ;) (At the time, of course, I was writing a book that...I tried very hard not to let feature him, despite my Fritz-muse's desire to promote himself from tertiary character to primary character.)
