Fecchi and Gedeone and Rumpus

> So Rumpus McFowl is an illegitemate child?!?

Illegitimate? No, the letter mentions a short marriage.

Some time ago, I and a couple of other Norwegians had a discussion on WHEN this 
marriage could have found place (that is, IF we still play with the thought of 
putting Don Rosa, William Van Horn and everybody else on the same time line). 
Three possibilities were mentioned - A) before Fergus married Downy, B) after 
Downy's death, or C) in a short period where Fergus and Downy were divorced, in 
that case most likely after Scrooge's and Matilda's birth, but before Hortense 
were born. We quickly decided to rule out option B, for two reasons - that 
would make Rumpus terribly young, and it doesn't seem very likely that Rumpus' 
mother would talk of Scrooge as a little vulture if he was thirty years old and 
on the other side of the ocean. Also, option A would mean that Rumpus is older 
than Scrooge, which I frankly don't really believe in. So... Does anyone here 
have thoughts on this matter? :-)


Best,
Olaf
