I will provide him with a good horse, and see him well away.

After what has happened Ginckle will, I should say, feel obliged for our thus rendering him a service by getting rid of his prisoner.

There are not likely to be any questions asked or remarks made afterwards.

I am not without influence at court, and there is a very strong section, who are bitterly opposed to Dutchmen being placed in every post in the king's gift, and there would be no difficulty in getting up such a hostile feeling against Ginckle, in relation to this affair, that it would cost him his command." "Yes," the general agreed.

"Marlborough would be only too glad to take the matter up, and as Ginckle must be pretty well aware that his want of success here must have already made his position precarious, I do not think he will trouble himself to ask any questions about the prisoner; and, certainly, William will not thank him for being the means, by his unjust and arbitrary conduct, of causing a split between the English and his foreign troops.
