"If I were well, I would take a run to Frankfurt myself on the business," now that Soubise's reserves are in those parts, and could give Freytag and Schmidt such a dusting for me, if they liked! Shall I write to Collini on it? Not a very zealous friend of Friedrich's, after all, this Voltaire! Of which presently. Her Letter to Voltaire on this thrice-important subject is lost.
Madame de Soubise's Indifference to the Chevalier's Fate. Had he been born fifty or sixty years earlier, the Chevalier de Rohan might have played a great part.
"Just as I did so, a mounted officer galloped past, at a speed that showed he was the bearer of an important despatch. I followed him to Soubise's headquarters. While there, I noticed several mounted officers rode out in great haste. A quarter of an hour later, several general officers arrived.

Done with great exactitude, with the minimum of confusion, and without a hurt skin to anybody. The Inhabitants stood silent, gazing; the Town-guard laid down their arms, and went home. Totally against Law; but cleverly done; perhaps Soubise's chief exploit in the world; certainly the one real success the French have yet had.
The Russians in Memel, Preussen at their feet; Soubise's French and the Reich's Army pushing on for Erfurt, to "deliver Saxony," on that western side: and from the French-English scene of operations In those same bad days Royal Highness of Cumberland has been doing a feat worth notice in the above connection!

Suddenly the surgeon-major got up, putting his hand to his ear, which I then saw was filled with cotton-wool. He swore like an ox-driver, and, pushing past every one and stepping on my feet and on Soubise's, he shut the window violently, cursing and swearing all the time quite uselessly, for I did not understand him.
Contades and Soubise, adjoining on the Reichsfolk are these Two French Armies: Soubise's, some 25,000, in Frankfurt-Ems Country, between the Mayn and the Lahn, with its back to the Rhine; then Contades, onward to Maes River and the Dutch Borders, with his face to the Rhine, and Duke Ferdinand observant of him on the other side. That is the "CORDON of Posts" or winter-quarters this Year.
After the thunderstorm of the day before, the white dust was laid, and the air was pure with a curious sparkling quality. They passed the museum in its garden, and turned a corner. "There's Mademoiselle Soubise's shop," said Nevill. It was a low white building, and had evidently been a private house at one time.
The blow dealt them at Prague had been obliterated by their success at Kolin; and Frederick's later success over the French and Federal army was not considered, by them, as a matter affecting themselves, although several Austrian regiments had been among Soubise's force.
