History Of Friedrich II. of Prussia
Vol. VII. (of XXI.)

CHAPTER VII
9/20

He ambles slowly, for a space; then gradually awakens into speed, into full speed; arrives, within a couple of hours, at Dingden, a Village in the Munster Territory, safe over the Prussian Border, by the shortest line: and from Dingden rides at more leisure, but without losing time, into the Dutch Overyssel region, straight towards the Hague.

He must be in the Hague?
said Dumoulin to the Official persons, on arriving there,--to Meinertshagen the Prussian Ambassador there, [Seckendorf (Forster, iii.

7).] and to Keppel, Dutch Official gentleman who was once Ambassador at Berlin.

Prussian Ambassador applies, and again applies, in the highest quarters; but we fear they are slack.

Dumoulin discovers that the man was certainly here; Keppel readily admits, He had Keith to dinner a few days ago: but where Keith now is, Keppel cannot form the least guess.
Dumoulin suspects he is with Lord Chesterfield, the English Ambassador here.
