In her train there came as a lady-in-waiting Dona Inez de Castro, the daughter of the high chamberlain of Castile, and with her Dom Pedro soon fell in love.
Here again, under another disguise, was the force that he had feared in London the force that had sent Dom Adrian noiselessly out of life, that proposed to deal with refractory instincts in human nature such as manifested themselves in Socialism as a householder might deal with a plague of mice, drastically and irresistibly; the force that moved the wheels and drove the soundless engines of that tremendous social-religious machine of which he too was a part.
Years had passed since he began work on "Der Ring des Nibelungen," and there seemed to him little prospect of that work receiving either publication or performance. In May of that year he received an invitation from Dom Pedro, Emperor of Brazil, to write an opera for Rio de Janeiro and direct its production.

Beautiful though it is it did not please the king, and is not in harmony with the older work, and so nothing more was done.
