master to make him ajnends for
the insolence of his servant. . The
Mareschal, who, .as you know, or .
whether you know or not, was en
dowed with an extraordinary srength
of body, left hi* sword and^coat in
the carriage and leaped upou die

the plains of Fontenoy and Lonfeldc.
The Mareschal received the first
blow/ and immediately seized the
Scavenger by the nape of the neck.

him up with his nervous arms, and
