CHAPTER XI
22/36

"'In Bohemia itself things don't look well; nothing done on Friedrich: your Saxons seem to be qnarrelling with you, and going home.' QUEEN.

"'Prince Karl is himself capable of fighting the Prussians again.
Till that, do not speak to me of Peace! Grant me only till October!' ROBINSON.

"'Prussia will help the Grand-Duke to Kaisership.' QUEEN.

"'The Grand-Duke is not so ambitions of an empty honor as to engage in it under the tutelage of Prussia.

Consider farther: the Imperial dignity, is it compatible with the fatal deprivation of Silesia?
"One other battle, I say! Good God, give me only till the month of October!"' ROBINSON.
