History of Friedrich II. of Prussia
Vol. IX. (of XXI.)

CHAPTER XI
29/37

No such account of broken windows was ever presented to a man before.

His Duel with the Termagant has at last ended; in total defeat to him on every point.

Shadow-Hunt does not end; though it is now mostly vanished; exploded in fire.
