As far as I’m concerned: I’m playing the amazed spectator, withdraw into a corner with the honored and highly esteemed Countess Camas and talk to her about a new book which has just been published under the title of „Candide“ and supposedly was written by Voltaire.
HAHAHAHAHA reading this after we had agreed Lehndorff would make a terrible diplomat was awesome. Lehndorff as a diplomat: would ignore the scandals and go in a corner to talk about books!
This, too, proves we don’t live in the best of all possible worlds!
Aww, Lehndorff! <3
I am thunderstruck and return home slowly, and tell myself that one has to approach the weaknesses of one’s parents with respect. Doubtlessly, she is angry because I socialize with the Wreech family despite them being in extreme disfavour with her because the Dönhoff mentioned her age the other day.
OMG. I mean, I know we're getting it from his perspective, but still, total respect to Lehndorff for being nice to his mom here. (I just really get the impression he was *nice*. I wonder how much of that was because he *couldn't* go in the army and so didn't get all the manliness stuff drummed into him. I mean, probably not all of his niceness is due to that! But maybe some of it?)
