[With Frederick the Great by G. A. Henty]@TWC D-Link bookWith Frederick the Great CHAPTER 15: Escaped 20/34
If Captain Lindsay got safely through the battle of Hochkirch, I should say that my man would stick by him. His servant, a tough Scotchman, and Karl are great chums; and I have no doubt that, unless he received positive orders to the contrary, Karl has kept company with him." "Of course you can find out, from the authorities here, who has taken command of Marshal Keith's division; and might possibly hear whether he took over the marshal's personal staff, or whether he brought his own officers with him." "Yes, I should think I might do that, count.
I think I shall in any case report myself to the king; but if Lindsay were stationed at any place I could pass through, on my way to Breslau, I would pick up Karl and my horse." "I shall of course send you another horse tomorrow," the count said.
"No, no, it is of no use your saying anything against it.
It was settled that I should supply you with mounts, while the war lasted, and I intend to carry that out fully.
I don't know that I have another in my stables here that is quite equal to the other pair, but there are two or three that approach them very nearly.
