They, that left wing of horse, should have thundered down on us, attacking us, not waiting our attack, thinks Friedrich; but they have not done it. They stand on their height there, will perhaps fire carbines, as their wont is. "You, Buddenbrock, go into them with your Cuirassiers!"
Thursday, 25th October, 1736, the Crown-Prince, with Lieutenant Buddenbrock and an attendant or two, drove over into Mecklenburg, to a Village and serene Schloss called Mirow, intending a small act of neighborly civility there; on which perhaps an English reader of our time will consent to accompany him.
And Buddenbrock, deploying under cover of that, charges, "first at a trot, then at a gallop," to see what can be done upon them with the white weapon. Old Uuddenbrock, surely, did not himself RIDE in the charge?
Buddenbrock spreads himself out, as bidden: had Buddenbrock been reinforced by most of the horse that could do no good on our LEFT wing, it is thought the Battle had gone better. What all these Villages, human individuals and terrified deer, are thinking, I never can conjecture!
Buddenbrock has come upon the secoud line of Austrian horse; in too loose order Buddenbrock, by this time, and they have broken him: and it is a mutual defeat of horse on this wing, the Prussian rather the worse of the two. And might have been serious, had not Rothenburg plunged furiously in, at this crisis, quite through to the Austrian infantry, and restored matters, or more.
We, with the Duke of Lorraine and Majesty in person, saw his marriage to the Excellency Creutz's Fraulein Daughter not long since; who we trust has made him happy; rich he is at any rate, and will be Adjutant-General before long; powerful in such intricacies as this that the Prince has fallen into. "RUPPIN, 15th July, 1732. "MEIN GOTT, what a piece of news Buddenbrock has brought me!
Buddenbrock has done his job right well. Seeing which, our Infantry of the right wing, which stood next to Buddenbrock, made impetuous charge uphill, emulous to capture that Battery of Twenty-eight; but found it, for some time, a terrible attempt.
On the 15th arrived his Majesty in person, with the Old Dessauer, Buddenbrock, Derschau and a select suite; in hopes of witnessing remarkable feats of war, now that the crisis of Philipsburg was coming on. Prince Fred of England, even he had a notion of coming to learn war.
Buddenbrock, Derschau, rough old Marlborough stagers, were generally there; these, "and two other persons," Grumkow and Seckendorf, whom Fassmann does not name, lest he get into trouble, "sat, well within earshot, round the bed.
Captain Wylich, afterwards a General of mark; the Lieutenant Buddenbrock who did the parson-charivari at Ruppin, but is now reformed from those practices: all these are of Goltz.
