A cunctatory Daun to preside over matters there^ in his superstitiously cautious way ; leaving Saxony free to the Reichsfolk, — ^whom a Hiilsen, left with his small remnant in Schlettau, might easily take charge of, till Silesia were settled ? * The plan was bold, was new, and completely worthy of Friedrich,^ votes Tempelhof; ^and it required the most consummate delicacy of execution. To lure Daun on, alwa}^ with the prospect opened to him of knocking you on llie head, and always by your rapidity and ingenuity to take care that he never got it done.** This is Tempelhof s notion : and this, sure enough, was actually Friedrich> mode of management in the weeks following; though whether already altogether planned in his head, or only gradually planning itself, as is more likely, nobody can say.
