Howel smote his thigh. "Overhaste again!" he cried in vexation. "That should have been done; but I bade them do justice on him straightway if they laid hands on him. They did it." I said no more, nor did the prince. It was in my mind that he was blaming himself for somewhat more than carelessness.
According to one of these, a young native of Friburg, who had been engaged in the battle, keenly desirous of being the first to carry home tidings of the victory, ran the whole way a distance of ten or twelve miles and with such overhaste that on his arrival at the market-place he dropped with fatigue, and, barely able to shout that the Swiss were victorious, immediately expired.
"You see, your highness, that Count Ostermann is wholly of my opinion. It must be done this night!" "That would be overhaste," cried the duchess; "we are not yet prepared!" "Nor is the regent, Biron of Courland," thoughtfully interposed Ostermann; "and, therefore, our overhaste would take Biron by surprise." "Decidedly my opinion," said Munnich.

Now the abbess was that night in company with a priest, whom she ofttimes let come to her in a chest; but, hearing the nuns' outcry and fearing lest, of their overhaste and eagerness, they should push open the door, she hurriedly arose and dressed herself as best she might in the dark.
