Thomas could write a cheque to-morrow for a hundred thousand. And, Mr. Forsyth, there's better than money. The foreign count Count Tarnow, he calls himself was formerly a tobacconist in Bayswater, and passed under the humble but expressive name of Schmidt; his daughter if she is his daughter there's another point make a note of that, Mr.
Goethe's detractors, particularly among the literary school called Young Germany, were fond of repeating the insinuation of Fanny Tarnow , that the poet prized in Bettina only her capacity for idolizing him. But Goethe's attitude toward the "Child" was far removed from that of poet-pasha, and Bettina had nothing of the vacuous odalisque in her composition.
There was nothing left but a crater sixty or seventy feet across and eighteen to twenty feet deep. We trailed westward, through Tarnow, where the great drive first broke through, and on to the pleasant old university city of Cracow on the frontier of the Poland of which it was once the capital, and to which it belonged until the partition of 1795.
The Russians retired east of the Wistok, followed by Von Mackensen's Austro-Hungarian corps, while the Prussian Guards moved on toward Frysztak, where the Russian troops from the Tarnow sector had taken up positions after the retreat from Brzostek. On May 7, 1915, the Prussian Guards had passed over the railway at Krosno, and at night fell upon the Russian lines east of the Wistok.
It was now necessary to take those positions before advance could be made against Tarnow, and the Fourth Austro-Hungarian Army, commanded by the Archduke Joseph Ferdinand, undertook the task. After three hours' bombardment some regiments of Tyrolese fusiliers, who had crossed the valley between Mt.
This local German move was almost entirely political. The main task, as I have said, was left to the Austrians farther south; and, proceeding to further detail, we must see the Austrians stretched in a line from near the middle Carpathians past the neighbourhood of Tomasow towards Tarnow, and this line distinctly divided into two armies, a northern and a southern.
If this could be effected, the fatal gap between them made by Von Mackensen's battering-ram would be repaired, and they could once more present a united front to the enemy. But from Tarnow southward to Tuchow, a small twenty-mile salient on the Biala, the Russians are still in possession on May 4, 1915, defying the Fourth Austro-Hungarian Army.
Just below Tarnow, however, the Russians still held out; losing the three hills had not quite broken their defense on the Biala.
Lying at the head of the main roads leading into Hungary through the Tilicz, Dukla, and Lupkow passes, Jaslo is the most important railway junction in the whole region between Tarnow and Przemysl. It was at Jaslo that Dmitrieff had held his headquarters for four months.
The foreign count Count Tarnow, he calls himself was formerly a tobacconist in Bayswater, and passed under the humble but expressive name of Schmidt; his daughter if she is his daughter there's another point make a note of that, Mr Forsyth his daughter at that time actually served in the shop and she now proposes to marry a man of the eminence of Mr Thomas! Now do you see our game?
