Hi Dave,<br><div class="gmail_quote"><div> </div><blockquote style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote">
If the obvious answer that the Nazis took him and killed him isn't good
enough, there is one other possibility -- he has somehow transformed
himself into the young woman, Gertrun.</blockquote><div><br>Hmm. But how is this possibility supported? By the "werewolf" remark, which might imply that Ernst is able to change into something different? Or maybe he does not "transform" into another person but is rather linked in another way (?) to the family S_____. The grandfather was a conjuror and the picture not only showed Ernst but also another person in the background... <br>
<br>One more thing. I was puzzled by the fact that the waiter in the café recommended the Romantic Hotel for lunch. He obviously tried to lure Dr. Cooper to this place. When Dr. Cooper arrived in the hotel, he immediately felt attracted by Gertrun and they quickly became lovers. This looks like a too pleasant arrangement to ensure that an offspring is born...<br>
