Daun, with a part of his command, hurried to the aid of General Luchesi, but he was too late; Luchesi had fallen, and terror and disorder were rapidly spreading in the right wing, while from the left, Nadasky had already dispatched ten messengers, imploring assistance from Charles of Lothringen.
Even Father Guarini showed by the quivering of his lip and his sudden paleness, that the conversation was now taking an agitating turn. "What do you know of my letters to Nadasky?" said the queen, breathlessly. "Who says I have written to him?" "Your own hand, gracious queen," answered the general.
"While the king, my noble sovereign, was in Bernstadt, he was told that General Nadasky was at Ostriz, and sent General von Werner after him. Nadasky fled, but his baggage was captured, and amongst his letters this one from your majesty was discovered." And he held up the letter in question before the queen, to convince her of its authenticity.
"I am aware that these are your majesty's sentiments," said the general, smiling; "and my master is as well informed. I think they were stated in almost the same words in letters which your majesty wrote to the Austrian general, Nadasky." The queen fell back upon her seat trembling, and a deep red suffused her countenance.
