He bemoaned the sufferings of his poor wounded men; he raved at the danger to which his "women-kind" had been exposed, and he exulted in the heroism of Capitola, catching her up in his arms and crying out: "Oh, my dear Cap! My heroine! My queen! And it was you against whom I was plotting treason ninny that I was! You that have saved my house from pillage and my people from slaughter!
