Incidentally, if sugar hoarder Ludwig did indeed make a pass at EC (in between hitting on the staff) and if Friedrich Sophus thought she was hot, that makes two Wartenslebens who considered her attractive.
Sorry, my wording was confusing. What I meant was that Friedrich Sophus said *Fritz* said she was hot. (This is in the 1730s, when the big Hohenzollern question of the decade is: is Fritz trying to get an heir on his wife or not?)
So it's entirely possible that Ludolf was great fun to be with for Hans Herrmann, but not so much for his wife.
Yes, exactly what I was thinking. And who else was a terrible husband but great fun for young Hans Hermann to hang out with? Fritz!
But it's equally possible she'd been at least a bit in love, and that would not have made for a good start for the marriage, which in turn could have soured Ludolf's behavior.

*nod* Quite possible.
