All right, I'm not going to get caught up tonight but I'm gonna get somewhere!
The Prussian princesses were much more amiable to her than they were to their sister 10 years earlier. Envy and jealousy, which her malicious behavior had caused against Elisabeth, whom she viewed as a rival in the struggle for the favor of her father and brother, found no point of attack in the quiet, friendly Louise.
Heh. Also Louise wasn't going to be the Queen for a very long time (and perhaps they thought never, depending on whether they realized yet that Fritz wasn't going to have any kids). I'm sure that made a huge difference.
Between her and the over-nervous, ambitious and internally dissatisfied Amalie, a solid friendship developed over time.
OK, this is nice :)
Elisabeth painfully felt it was “God's destiny” that the joys of motherhood were denied her
Heh. ...I guess you can call it God's destiny that your husband is gay! Although that's not how I usually hear it referred to :P
