He didn't count fair! He never counts fair," protested the others; but Si hustled them into the cars and the train started. It had grown quite dark.
The French amour propre was a little stung when it was made known that Rossini had simply modified and reshaped one of his early and immature productions as his first attempt at composition in French opera. His other works for the French stage were "Il Viaggio a Rheims," "Le Comte Ory," and "Guillaume Tell."
Rossini wrote for Paris only two new operas, "Le Comte Ory" and "William Tell," the latter his masterpiece in the serious style. The libretto was first prepared by M. Jouy, but it was so bad that M.

Yesterday evening two battalions of troops carried the Ory Farm and Plichon House, near Fort Montrouge, at the point of the bayonet. The Federalists had about 400 killed and wounded, and lost 42 prisoners, including a Chief of Battalion. The troops also captured a flag, but subsequently evacuated the conquered positions, as they were too much exposed to the fire of the enemy.
Avory at all; it was Mrs. Amory." "Oh, I don't take much count about m's or v's," said Kink. "It began with a big 'A, and it ended in 'ory, and that was good enough for me." "Kink," said Janet, "you're a dear. You've given us the most beautiful holiday." Hester suddenly turned pale. "Mother!" she exclaimed, "what about the twenty-five sovereigns?" "Yes," said Robert, "that's awful!"
On one of these Sundays I found Roman boys playing an inscrutable game among the busts of their storied compatriots, a sort of "I spy" or "Hide and go whoop," counting who should be "It" in an Italian version of "Oneary, ory, ickory, an," and then scattering in every direction behind the plinths and bushes.
