This same Thursday morning, two or three battalions of them rush into the Pirna Suburb; attack the Prussian Guard-parties there. Schmettau instantly despatches Captain Kollas and a Trumpet: 'Durchlaucht, have the goodness to recall these Croat Parties; otherwise the Suburb goes into flame! And directly on arrival of this Messenger, may it please Durchlaucht.
As usual in such cases. The guard-parties do not fire on one another, within certain limits: a signal that there are dead to bury, or the like, is strictly respected. "Trenck of the Life-guard was not quite the soul of honor.
If all is safe, he will do so; but perhaps even still he soon awakens again; and strolls about among his guard-parties, or warms himself by their fires. "Good evening, children." "The same to thee, Fritz." "What is that you are cooking?" and would try a spoonful of it, in such company; while the rough fellows would forbid smoking, "Don't you know he dislikes it?"
Of course there are guard-parties, sentries duly vigilant, in the big Battery to southeast of Hochkirch, and along southwestward in that POTENCE, or fore-arm of Four Battalions, which are stationed there.
