Certainly I myself could have wished no variation from it in the young officer of 'bersaglieri', who had come down from antiquity to the topmost gradine of the arena over against me, and stood there defined against the clear evening sky, one hand on his hip, and the other at his side, while his thin cockerel plumes streamed in the light wind.
"You remind me of the little Piedmontese Bersaglieri on the march." "I have seen them trotting into Como from Milan." "They cover a quantity of ground in a day, if the ground's flat. You want another sort of step for the mountains." "I should not attempt to dance up." "They soon tame romantic notions of them." "The mountains tame luxurious dreams, you mean. I see how they are conquered.

General Maze de la Roche's division attacked the latter gate, and the wall near it, in which a breach was rapidly effected by the steady fire of the Italian batteries, though it was not till past eight o'clock that it seemed large enough to admit of an assault.
