Re: The Lehndorff Report: The Magical Mystery Tour (1781 - early 1783)

Re: Wartensleben - since you are the Mistress of genealogy, can you tell us how EC's Count Wartensleben, not to be confused with Heinrich's Count Wartensleben, was related to Katte's Grandpa Wartensleben? Because I do wonder whether Hans Herrmann would have known the sugar horder in the later's youth…

Also intelligent and musically gifted, in addition to Antonia: Wilhelmine and Amalie. But never let fraternal gallantry stand in the way of a quip!

Kaphengst's double chin is when Lehndorff channels his inner Jane Austen. In another life, he might have had a career as a Society novelist, which is why the body swap with Fontane is so seductive a crack idea. Mind you, given his hard-partying life style, I'm not surprised Kaphengst is gaining weight at this point. Btw, did you notice in the earlier write up that Lehndorff mentions Kaphengst having "the French sickness" courtesy of several theatre people?

Fritz: No surprise there. Clearly, that's yet another reason why I told Heinrich to dump him. Heinrich would be dead already if I didn't try to look out for his health out of the goodness of my fraternal heart.

Heinrich: There are ways of having sex with someone who has STD which allow you to remain safe. As someone who actually does get laid on a regular basis would know. I would like to point out here that even the most unflattering accounts of me never accuse me of a) having STD myself, or b) impotence.
