There were lost 98 pieces of cannon; endless magazines and stores of war. The Austrians are at the top of their pride; and consider full surely that Silesia is theirs, though Friedrich were here twice over. "What is Friedrich? We beat him at Kolin. His Prussians at Zittau, at Moys, at Breslau in the new Malplaquet, were we beaten by them?
"She can't bear the Moys betwixt the wind and her nobility." "They are the great drawback to Swansea, I confess," said Cecil. "Oh! are you thinking of Swanslea?" cried Mrs Duncombe. "Yes," said Lady Tyrrell, "she is one to be congratulated on emancipation." "Well can I do so," said Mrs. Duncombe. "Don't I know what mothers- in-law are?
Of course Nadasti will make another, will make ever others; capture of the Jakelsberg can hardly be doubtful to Nadasti. Winterfeld was not at Moys, he was at Gorlitz, just got in from escorting an important meal-convoy hither out of Bautzen; and was in conference with Bevern, when rumor of these Croat attacks came in at the gallop from Moys.
The Austrians had meanwhile gained great advantages to the rear of the Prussian army, had beaten the King's favorite, General Winterfeld, at Moys in Silesia, had taken the important fortress at Schweidnitz and the metropolis, Breslau, whose commandant, the Duke of Bevern a collateral branch of the house of Brunswick had fallen into their hands while on a reconnoitring expedition.
"You had better take care how you put such a temptation in his way." "I don't suppose the Moys are anybody," said Cecil. "Not in your sense, my dear," said Lady Tyrrell, laughing; "but from another level there's a wide gap between the heiress of Proudfoot Lawn and the heir of the training stables." "Cecil looks simply disgusted," said Bessie.
With a loud whack something struck the back of his head, and, turning, he beheld Verman in the act of lifting a piece of lath to strike again. "Em moys ome!" said Verman, the Giant Killer. "He tongue-tie'," Herman explained. "He say, let 'em boys alone." Rupe addressed his host briefly: "Chase them nigs out o' here!" "Don' call me nig," said Herman. "I mine my own biznuss. You let 'em boys alone."
This at Rotha is the day while Winterfeld, on Moys Hill, is meeting his death. To-day at Pegau, in this neighborhood, Seidlitz, who could not fall in with Turpin, has given the Hussars of Loudon a beautiful slap; the first enemy we have seen on this march; and the last, nothing but Loudon and Hussars visibly about, the rest of those Soubise-Reichs people dormant, as would seem.
Yes, I can't help it, Cecil, Susan will regale me with cook-stories sometimes; and I have heard of the whole establishment turning out on being required to eat funguses." "I shall beware of dining there!" said Rosamond. "Don't they dine here to-morrow?" asked Frank. "No, they are engaged to the Moys," said Cecil. "But the Vivians come?" "Oh yes."
Tuesday, September 6th, Prince Karl sends Nadasti to the right bank of the River, forward upon Moys, to do the Jakelsberg before day to-morrow: only some 2,000 grenadiers on it; Nadasti has with him 15,000, some count 20,000 of all arms, artillery in plenty; surely sufficient for the Jakelsberg; and Daun advances, with the main body, on the other side of the River, to be within reach, should Moys lead to more serious consequences.
