whose trust one has to win through loving behavior and not through harshness, the way Count Borck does it

Oh, FFS, Fritz. If Catt is to be trusted at all, you specifically said that *you* have to be won over with positive reinforcement, and that you try to mend your ways to live up to praise, whereas attacking you just makes your faults worse. And of course the "if they had raised me instead of humiliating me, I would be a better person" line that I keep quoting.

Fritz, why must you be so good at insights and so bad at applying them?

ETA: But also "awww" about Lehndorff.
