some brief shelter; cannot stay there either, in the circumstances.
Will he have to hurry back to Frankfurt, to bankruptcy and
furnished lodgings,--nay to the Britannic Majesty's tender mercies,
whose Army is now actually there? Those indignant prophesyings to
Broglio, at the Schloss of Wolnzach, have so soon come true!
And Broglio and the French are--what a staff to lean upon!
Enough, the poor Kaiser, after doleful 'Council of War held at
Augsburg, June 25th,' does on the morrow make off for Frankfurt
again:--whither else? Britannic Majesty's intentions, friends tell

of the Swabian Circle, over at Wembdingen there, in said circle,
and be strictly neutral, if we can but get lived at all!' [Ib. iii.
B, 153.] Seckendorf concludes on the morrow, 27th June;--which is
