there was once such rattling and battling. After which,
rapidly on to Silesia, and an eight days of adjusting and inspecting
there.
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30th, Friedrich arrives in Frankfurt-on-Oder, on the
way homeward from Silesia: "takes view of the Field of Kunersdorf"
(reflections to be fancied); early in the afternoon speeds forward
again; at one of the stages (place called Tassdorf) has a Dialogue,
which we shall hear of; and between 8 and 9 in the evening, not through
the solemn receptions and crowded streets, drives to the Schloss of
Berlin. "Goes straight to the Queen's Apartment," Queen, Princesses and
Court all home triumphantly some time ago; sups there with the Queen's
Majesty and these bright creatures,--beautiful supper, had it consisted
only of cresses and salt; and, behind it, sound sleep to us under our
own roof-tree once more. [Rodenbeck, ii. 211, 212; Preuss, ii. 345, 346;
&c. &c.] Next day, "the King made gifts to," as it were, to everybody;
"to the Queen about 5,000 pounds, to the Princess Amelia 1,000 pounds,"
and so on; and saw true hearts all merry round him,--merrier, perhaps,
than his own was.
