"In a sense, no," he replied. "Diplomatically, however, I am, from their point of view, a heinous offender. I rather think I am going to be shelved for six months." "Just what one would expect from this horrible Government!" Mrs. Benedek exclaimed indignantly. "What do you know about the Government?" he asked. "Are you taking up politics as well as the study of the higher auction?"
The impact was more than Austria could stand. On the twenty-seventh and twenty-ninth of June, Frederick Charles defeated the Austrian advance in four indecisive engagements. Count Clam-Gallas, the Austrian general, was obliged to fall back on the main body for support. In these same days the Crown Prince gained several preliminary successes over the principal Austrian army under Benedek.
The Italians are at any time the equals of the Austrians as soldiers, and at this time their minds are in an exalted state, under the dominion of which they would be found superior to any men who could be brought against them, if well led; and among the Imperial commanders there is no man, unless Von Benedek be an exception, who is to be named with the generals who have led the way in the work we have seen done since last spring.
The Austrian Southern Army, excellent in discipline and equipment though weak in numbers, was commanded up to the outbreak of the war by Field-Marshal Benedek, but he was called to Vienna to take command of the unfortunate army of operation against Prussia, and was succeeded in Italy by the Archduke Albrecht, with General Von John, an officer of the first capacity, as chief of the staff.
"It is a very reasonable suggestion. It will divert our thoughts. Here is the afternoon paper. Let us first see whether there is any further news." It was Mrs. Paston Benedek who opened it. She stared at the first sheet for a moment with eyes which were almost dilated. Then she looked around. Her voice sounded unnatural. "Look!" she cried. "Francis Norgate Mr.
Benedek is beaten; on to Vienna; the war is ended! It was with a heavy heart that General Lee ordered his brave men southward again a heart made heavier by many a stinging criticism against him in the Southern press. The resolution that bore him up at this crisis was morally sublime. He could not hope to strengthen his army more.
Are you not back again sooner than you expected?" Norgate nodded. "Very much sooner," he admitted. "I came in for some unexpected leave, which I haven't the slightest intention of spending abroad, so here I am." "Not, apparently, in love with Berlin," the lady, whose name was Mrs. Paston Benedek, remarked. Norgate's air of complete candour was very well assumed.
Paston Benedek, who was seated in the stalls, leaned over and touched his arm. "My friend," she exclaimed, "you are distrait! You walk as though you looked for everything and saw nothing. And behold, you have found me!" Norgate shook hands and nodded to Baring, who was her escort. "What have you done with our expansive friend?" he asked. "I thought you were dining with him."
The main Austrian army, under Benedek, made up of contingents from the various nations subject to the emperor, with the troops of Saxony, one of his German allies, were gathered in Bohemia. Thither three Prussian armies moved, on different lines, as they were directed by telegraph from Berlin. Several battles occurred. The armies approached one another, but were purposely kept apart.
Paston Benedek slipped from her place upon the cushioned fender and held out both her hands. "Ah, it is really you!" she exclaimed. "Welcome, dear friend! For days I have wondered what it was in this place which one missed all the time. Now I know." Selingman took the little outstretched hands and raised them to his lips.
