-man, I'm glad that Fritz was nice to Louise. Sigh.
-"Louise Amalie could sense from her own experience what [Mina] was feeling. She forgot her resentment and was friendly towards her." Aw Louise, you really are the best.
-"With regard to his successor, the king asked himself the worried question: \"How can a being who cannot control himself be able to control others?" ("Sire! Half the earth obeys you: are you yourself then, in your vast States, the only person you cannot keep in check?" --mildred, this is something Rodrigo says to Philip in Don Carlo :) )
she later remarked to her loyal friend, Count Lehndorff, that in all the years of their marriage they had only had eight happy days at most.
This is going to be a continual theme, but HEINRICH. YOU ARE THE WORST. I'm glad she had some friends, and that Amalie and EC and Louise and Fritz still liked her after the whole Kalckreuth thing *sigh*
Fritz: Well, I mean, I also got to tick off Heinrich. Win-win!
Lehndorff blamed Kalckreuth for all these twists and turns at the Rheinsberg court and accused the princess and her ladies of having followed his bad advice.
While I don't disagree, this is... definitely very much in character for Lehndorff *pats his head*
Friedrich wrote to his sister Ulrike von Schweden on June 10, 1767: [AW's son] was his father's image, he possessed all his good qualities without having his faults.
I know you guys have told me about this letter before, but IT IS STILL INFURIATING!
