Good old Fontane! I bow to your brilliance in checking there.
Lehndorff by the way? Not impressed:
LOL. I must admit, it never fails to amuse me that there are two things you can rely on when reading Lehndorff:
a) sooner or later, Heinrich will be mentioned, and
b) If Lehndorff comes into contact with someone who theoretically could tell him interesting stories about Hans Herrmann von Katte, he will dislike this person.
I mean: - cousin Ludolf: terrible husband to The One Who Got Away - cousin Wartensleben: miser, sugar hoarder, pouncer on chambermaids when younger and spy when old - Staatsminister von Katte: boo, hiss, evil redhead - and now: Hertefeld, former regiment comrade, experienced the arrest first hand, has books from Katte: what a bore!
It's as if he's postumously determined to frustrate Mildred, verily. Lehndorff being Team Keith all the way might make up for it, though?
