since one of the aims of the biography is to show how noble Seckendorff was slandered by Fritz
This writeup was hilarious!
Seckendorff did his best, even against that war criminal Austrian Trenck.
...okay, I find Trenck hilarious whenever he shows up, just for starters --
(Lehndorff: has no problem visiting Seckendorff in Magdeburg, though is not a military man with Seckendorffian loyalties. Definitely is not under the impression Heinrich called Seckendorff Papa.)
Hehhhhhh.
But these insignifciant features could be full of expression when the emotion of one of the most vivid and receptive souls that ever were formed them
This was sure Something :D Probably my favorite line, lol. Tell us how you really feel, biographer!
However, since (Seckendorff) often managed to extract secret information from Grumbkow when Grumbkow was blazingly drunk, and achieve results from the King over joyful cups for which he'd have asked in vain while sober, one should forgive him these diplomatic debaucheries.
Ha!
Meanwhile, I wish someone had rescued that poor dwarf.
