Tottleben, too, made uncommon despatch; marched, as did all these invasive Russians, at the rate of thirty miles a day; their Main Army likewise moving off from Frankfurt to a safer distance. Friedrich was still five marches off; but there seemed not a moment to lose.
Otherwise it might happen that they might make a mistake, and not being able to deprive you of your German heart, might take your German head instead." General Tottleben drew back with astonishment, and stared at him. Count de Lacy continued, smiling, and in a quiet tone: "I warn you to guard against your own mildness and your German heart.
Roving Cossack-Parties, under one Tottleben, whom we shall hear of otherwise, infest Pommern, bickering with the Prussian posts there; not ravaging as formerly, Tottleben being a civilized kind of man. Him these Cossacks carried off with them, a march or two; then, taking his bond for a certain ransom, let him go.
He did not even raise his eyes from the dispatches which he was in the act of reading, and his contracted brows and the whole expression of his countenance was such as to discourage any petition or pleading. At this moment General von Tottleben was a true Russian, and, thanks to General Fermore's dispatches, he had succeeded in suppressing his German sympathy.

His joint dominion had been of Two days. On the morning of Sunday, 12th, went Tottleben, who had businesses, settlements of ransom and the like, before marching.

Does your excellency mean to say that the Austrians are to learn good manners from the Russians?" "Yes, from the Russians," replied Tottleben "from my soldiers, who neither plunder nor rob, but bear in mind that they are soldiers, and not thieves!"
"After a battle won, I know nothing pleasanter than to recall with a comrade the past danger, and to revel again in memory the excitement of the fight." "May I request your excellency to remember that the Austrians cannot count the conquest of Berlin in the list of their victories," cried Count Tottleben, with a sarcastic smile.
