I only add that Henry and his sister know full well that they have no influence over Frederick (and that their father doesn't mind F's behavior as long as it doesn't affect him directly).
Also, since Catherine's family can do nothing about the General's conduct, they refuse to brood upon it. What could they do except write him a nasty letter, which would have been useless. James could have issued a challenge, but it doesn't seem part of his character, and duels were not really acceptable in law, even though they occurred. And, too, the real culprit is Isabella.
