Daun, as we said, had been uncomfortably surprised to find, by degrees, that Invasion was not Friedrich's plan this Year; that the dramatic parts are redistributed, and that the playing of Fabius-Cunctator will not now serve one's turn. Daun, who may well be loath to believe such a thing, clings to his old part, and seems very lazy to rise and try another.
Cunctatorship is not now the trade needed; there is nothing to be made of playing Fabius-Cunctator: and Daun's fame henceforth is a diminishing quantity. This Year, and indeed all years following, the Russians are to be Daun's best card. Waiting for three months here till the curtain rose, it was Friedrich that had to play Cunctator. A wearisome task to him, we need not doubt.
