Lehndorff as a father is, btw, yet another illustration that Prussian dads did not have to follow the FW model. Like, at all. You could be socialized in this society and end up a Lehndorff rather than a Hohenzollern.
Lehndorff, you are the better man, but I have to say, Mara knows Heinrich better than you do.
If you're wondering, the original word Mara uses is "canaille" which Schmidt-Lötzen leaves as Canaille in German (in 1921, it was already a bit old fashioned but still used). However, obvious English translation was obvious to me. :)
(Fritz would probably agree with Mara's assessment and point out he said as much when argueing with AW about Heinrich all the way back in 1749, back when he wrote: "Heinrich is your idol, your blind friendship for him doesn't let you recognize his faults. I love him as a brother, but I'd regret it if he doesn't improve in all the regards I've told him about". Ghost of AW: You mean, when you behaved like a bastard towards him?)
THERAPY FOR EVERYONE
But then we would probably never heard about any of them!
Herr du Rosey: I suppose he fell into the category "getting greatly humbled"? Especially if his estates are in East Prussia as well, because then chances are the Russians were there a couple of times.
Also, do you have any idea what the du Rosey family would have gotten out of this arrangement, that they "sold" her to the Kattes?

Royal favour? Your guess is as good as mine.
