Christoph,
No we don't ham it up and you know it! You are incredible!!! Those characters Marion uses are a riot!
I was worried about saying something philosophical about Theo and in fact erased a few sentences. They were about Theo's conflict, and so many other ideas on conflict. The Allies are bombing the place like mad, and yes the Allied prisoners want the War to end but the bombing might kill them. And then there is the idea that the Germans are fighting this War against men that they are willing to hospitalize so they can live. The list of conflicting situations and ideas goes on and on.... Life!
What I wanted to tell Marion was her title of The Proud Daughter was so appropriate and her Dad would be a Prouder Father to the Nth Degree!
Now, an interesting thought, hopefully on Monday we should hear if my Dad is one of the 2 French men that had a successful escape. I did not think much about it as a clue, but I am named after my Dad. Yes, his name is Jean. I keep a low profile life, and would not ordinarily mention a name. But Dad used to have lots of responses for the 'French' spelling of his name. One was that his Mother wanted a girl. But the main reason he gave was that in 'French' Jean means John. So who knows if that influenced the person writing the report.
Now Prisoner #2 that I found I wonder what we should call him. I could call him Lucky. No I don't think that works. I could call him #2. Definitely not that since the poor guy got dysentery during his 15 days of hiding and no food. He said he pooped about 20 times a day and it was liquid. This was the case at the Abbey too. Now I am looking for a name for him but I had to tell you about the dysentery problem because that will become part of future situations. I could try P2 but in the end I think KF is best until I have his permission to share his name.
Good Night,
Jean J
