That you, a young officer on Enghien's staff, should unbidden, and, as you say, as a matter of duty, have undertaken such a business, shows how thoroughly you have profited by your teaching under Turenne; and as such you deserve what you have gained, though I do not say that you would have obtained your desserts had not your reconnaissance saved Enghien from defeat.

"Well, it certainly seems to have been an extraordinary battle. Everyone appears to have been beaten in turn." "Not Enghien's command, sir."
Count d'Espenan, who commanded the two advanced regiments of Enghien's army, however, ordered a detachment to attack a redoubt which stood within the line of attack, and Merci sent supports to its defenders. D'Espenan sent more troops on his side and the engagement became serious.
