That makes sense! -- could it be possible that he was in the regiment but playing with a student group as "filling in" their ensemble? Eh, though, occam's razor would suggest that it is simpler that Preuss-without-sources is wrong?
His ill health, his jealousy of the famous Glasow, his riches and especially his desire for a quiet life have caused him to beg the King long enough so that the King allowed him to resign his positions.
I mean. This right here, I am not believing ANY charges of embezzlement until one explains to me how Lehndorff can write this :P
Most of all, though, I admire that he was able to withdraw in time, which is such a delicate matter for men who have a position equal to that of a beautiful woman when she notices her looks are fading.
I had forgotten about this! (Though of course I remembered when I read it again.) Lehndorff, burn :D (In general I think it's a neat word-portrait, though -- Lehndorff really does have a way with drawing these thumbnail sketches of people.)
