By this means the Swedes were left exposed, who were encamped in small force under Count Thurn, at Steinau, on the Oder, and this was exactly what Wallenstein desired. He allowed the Saxon general to advance sixteen miles towards Meissen, and then suddenly turning towards the Oder, surprised the Swedish army in the most complete security.
She brought liberal luncheons. On this day, between the disks of her beaten biscuit showed the pinkness of sliced ham. Mary Agatha drew back; Mary Agatha was Emmy Lou's newest friend. "It's Friday," said Mary Agatha. "Of course," said Rosalie, "I forgot." Rosalie put her biscuit back. "It's ham," said Rebecca Steinau. Emmy Lou was hurt.
Friedrich's Camp is about five miles from Neipperg's on the other side of Steinau. A tolerable champaign country; I should think, mostly in stubble at this season. Friedrich's Oppeln preparations are about complete; and he intends to advance straightway. Friedrich answers, by silence chiefly, to the effect, "Tush, tush;" but not quite negatively, and does in effect wait.

There came nothing of attack; but the poor little Village of Steinau, with so many troops in it and baggage-drivers stumbling about, takes fire; burns to ashes; 'and we had great difficulty in saving the artillery and powder through the narrow streets, with the houses all burning on each hand." Fancy it, and the poor shrieking inhabitants; gone to silence long since with their shrieks, not the least whisper left of them.
