(Now I just have to figure out what Marwitz thinks he's getting out of all this.)

So I'm reading all this at the same time as the Lehndorff/Fredersdorf comments, and I feel like the answer is obvious! --

Marwitz: I just want to say, none of this was my fault at all. When you're a page, it's not like anyone stops to tell you his name, you know? And there are a bunch of Hohenzollerns! I mean, there are like multiple princes and a King! At least Prince Ferdinand is quiet, so you can tell that one's him. But you get this short sarcastic guy who likes ordering people around and goes off on a moment's notice and, well. Can you really blame me for mixing up Prince Heinrich and King Friedrich a couple of times? I realized my mistake soon enough, of course, once we were in the bedroom. Heinrich was much more, mm, enthusiastic. Whereas King Fritz had me undress but didn't, you know, actually do anything. He watched me a lot and then kinda made a face and told me to put my clothes back on. Still not sure what was going on with that.

And yeah, there was that time that Voltaire came to visit and, well, he's pretty mouthy too. So to speak. What can I say, it's hard to keep all these mouthy guys straight. Or, well, you know.
