Prince Karl, fringed with Tolpatchery in this manner, but with much desertion, much dispiritment, in his main body, the HOOPS upon him all loose, so to speak, staggers zigzag back towards Budweis, and the Lobkowitz Party there; intending nothing more upon the Prussians; capable now, think some NON-Prussians, of being well swept out of Budweis, and over the horizon altogether.
Lobkowitz, unable to exist in the black circuit, has retired beyond it, and taken the eastern side of the Moldau, as the least ruined; leaving the Tolpatchery, under one Festititz, to caracole round the black horizon on the west.
And rushed off accordingly, in a somewhat flamy humor; but at Schweidnitz, where the Old Dessauer met him again, became convinced that the matter was weightier than he thought; not one of Tolpatchery alone, but had Traun himself in it. Upon which Friedrich candidly drew bridle; hastened back, and, with a loss of four days, was at his Potsdam Affairs again.
Undeniable, too, the Tolpatchery, careless of parole, beset Caaden Village thereupon, 4,000 strong; cut off our foreposts, at Caaden Village; and In short, we had to retire from those parts; and prove an Army of Redemption that could not redeem at all! Out mostly, and without stroke of sword, merely by marching; out for the time.
The Tolpatchery, unable to take Trautenau, set fire to it, though it is their own town, their own Queen's town; thatchy Trautenau, wooden too in the upper stories of it, takes greedily to the fire; goes all aloft in flame, and then lies black. A scandalous transaction, thinks Friedrich.
"And Belleisle in Prag, left solitary there, with his heroic remnant, gone now to 17,000, the fourth man of them in hospital, with Festititz Tolpatchery hovering round, and Winter and Hunger drawing nigh, what is to become of Belleisle?
Nadasti, with some thousands of Tolpatchery, was at Liebenthal, four miles to southeast of the action; Ruffian Trenck lay behind Eypel, perhaps as far to east, of it: Trenck and Nadasti were to rendezvous, to unite, and attack the Prussian Camp on its rear, "Camp," so ran the order, for it was understood the Prussians would all be there, we others attacking it in front and both flanks; which turned out otherwise, not for Nadasti alone!
Fuller, when he used 'to avunculize, meaning to tread in the footsteps of one's uncle, scarcely proposed it as a lasting addition to the language; as little did Pope intend more than a very brief existence for 'vaticide, or Cowper for 'extra- foraneous, or Carlyle for 'gigmanity, for 'tolpatchery, or the like.
Nadasti made a rare hand of the Camp; plundered everything, took all the King's Camp-furniture, ready money, favorite dog Biche, likewise poor Eichel his Secretary, who, however, tore the papers first. Tolpatchery exultingly gutted the Camp; and at last set fire to it, burnt even some eight or ten poor Prussian sick, and also "some women whom they caught.
