"Well, Görgei isn't likely to yield his command to the Poles."
"Just so; and they won't be too eager to serve under him. That's where the difficulty lies."
"If old Mizvy's plan were in working order," said one man lazily, "'twould save a lot of bother at present."
"We certainly shouldn't suffer from having too many generals."
Szondi agreed laughingly. "Görgei and Klapka look very solemn over there."
"They're discussing the new plans, and it's my belief we shall find Mizvy wasn't far out in his forecast."
That same night our general told us he had resolved on retreating to Waitzen with a portion of the army, while Klapka, with 76 guns and 18,000 men, was to throw himself into Comorn.
I now learned that one Austrian army corps was marching straight on Pesth, from which our troops had withdrawn, and I looked forward with pleasure to again meeting my old friends of the 9th Honved regiment.
Since joining the staff I had not heard from Rakoczy, but as there had been no fighting at the capital I concluded he was still alive and well.
Early on the morning succeeding the stubborn fight we said farewell to our friends in Klapka's division, and before it was really light began the march.
