ToDaun's sad astonishment, --in a moment of crisis, --as we shall hearfarther on! So that Saxony is not yet conquered to Daun; Saxony, no, norindeed will be:--but Dresden is. Friedrich never could recover Dresden;though he hoped, and at intervals tried hard, for a long while to come. Chapter VI. --PRINCE HENRI MAKES A MARCH OF FIFTY HOURS; THE RUSSIANSCANNOT FIND LODGING IN SILESIA. The eyes of all had been bent on Dresden latterly; and there hadoccurred a great deal of detaching thitherward, a...nd of marching thereand thence, as we have partly seen. And the end is, Dresden, and toappearance Saxony along with it, is Daun's. Has not Daun good reason nowto be proud of the cunctatory method? Never did his game stand better;and all has been gained at other people's expense. Daun has not playedone trump card; it is those obliging Russians that have played allthe trumps, and reduced the Enemy to nothing. Only continue that wisecourse, --and cart meal, with your whole strength, for the Russians!-- Safe behind the pools of Lieberose, Friedrich between them and Berlin, lie those dear Russians; extending, Daun and they, like an impassablemilitary dike, with spurs of Outposts and cunningly devised Detachments, far and wide, --from beyond Bober or utmost Crossen on the east, toHoyerswerda in Elbe Country on the west;--dike of eighty miles long, and in some eastern parts of almost eighty broad; so elaborate is Daun'sdetaching quality, in cases of moment.
