Dreadfully exclaimed against, the old gentleman, especially by the French co-managers: 'Why did not the old traitor stick in the rear of Prince Karl, in the difficult passes, and drive him prone, while we went besieging Freyburg, and poaching about, trying for a bit of the Brisgau while chance served!
