Oh yaaaaaay more of our favorite shiny sparkly diarist!! *sparkles*
Our editor by now is firmly attached to Lehndorff
As are we all :D
and tells us furtherly in the preface that he thinks Lehndorff would have made a great diplomat
LOL. I gotta say that as much as I adore Lehndorff, I don't think he would have made a good diplomat at all. He doesn't strike me as the type to be able to on the fly come up with a good way to tell various people that Fritz didn't really mean that obnoxious thing he said about Franzl! (Or whomever.)
„Why, so well that I told him after that business in the Temple had happened: My dear friend, this can‘t end well!“
I laughed pretty hard at this!
Thus I see myself forced to abandon the plan of a journey to St. Petersburg
You know, I like that he did abandon his plan. I mean, he could have gone and I dare say no one would have thought much about it except his wife (and least of all Heinrich himself) but he didn't, even though it was something he really wanted to do. I mean, maybe my 18th C standards are terribly low at this point, but still :)
„We both have the same coldness“, as Fritz would put it.
This is going in a Fritz/Heinrich dysfunctional siblings fic, right??
He behaves so well that (...) this misfortune is an occasion to win the trust of the Empress and the Grand Duke so thoroughly that even before the later’s wife has expired, there has already been a new spouse arranged, the charming princess of Würtemberg, the great niece of our King and daughter of the most estimable parents of the world. (...) At last after ten days of the most terrible suffering, the unfortunate princess dies without having given birth as the child, a boy, was still attached to her. She bore all the operations with the greatest endurance and died in the same way.
Holy cow. Yeah, Heinrich is cold. Also, that poor princess :(
(And also Team Muwahaa, Whom Is Heinrich Still Fond of Now, Kalkreuth?)
Aww, I'm so glad Lehndorff and Heinrich are still buddies (with benefits??), I have all the sparkly hearts feelings for them <3
Thank you for this!!
(And, seriously, if you do not have hours to spend reading about sparkly hearts, we totally understand. RL is RL! But thank you for doing this!)
