CHAPTER VI .-- PRINCE HENRI MAKES A MARCH OF FIFTY HOURS; THE RUSSIANS.
CANNOT FIND LODGING IN SILESIA.
The eyes of all had been bent on Dresden latterly; and there had occurred a great deal of detaching thitherward, and of marching there and thence, as we have partly seen.

And the end is, Dresden, and to appearance Saxony along with it, is Daun's.

Has not Daun good reason now to 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 played one trump card; it is those obliging Russians that have played all the trumps, and reduced the Enemy to nothing.

Only continue that wise course,--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 impassable military dike, with spurs of Outposts and cunningly devised Detachments, far and wide,--from beyond Bober or utmost Crossen on the east, to Hoyerswerda in Elbe Country on the west;--dike of eighty miles long, and in some eastern parts of almost eighty broad; so elaborate is Daun's detaching quality, in cases of moment.
