I would have thought that the correct translation should be 'zofie recieved....' rather than 'got'. The use of 'got' in UK English seems very awkward and unnatural. Is this an Americanism?

    "from him", not "from her"? Very strange! I though "od něj" means "from her".

      Then you thought wrong. 'From her' is 'od ní'
