The brigand's wonderful skill elicited a loud burst of admiration and applause from an audience not easily surprised or pleased, in which even the man who had lost his water joined enthusiastically.
Slang was concluded; that with Sir George Thrum the great composer satisfactorily arranged; and the new opera underlined in immense capitals in the bills, and put in rehearsal with immense expenditure on the part of the scene-painter and costumier. Need we tell with what triumphant success the "Brigand's Bride" was received?
She halted for a moment in indecision as she saw Antony Standish on the landing, evidently waiting for her, then went on. "I say, Myra, don't cut me," exclaimed Standish appealingly, nervously fingering his tie. "I've been waiting for you. I I don't want to try to excuse myself for what happened up in that cursed brigand's den. My nerve deserted me completely."
She went to the brigand's chest of treasure and proceeded to examine its contents laces, silver and gold embroideries, antique ornaments, she took carefully in her hands, seeming mentally to calculate their cost and value.
"Then you would recommend rank rebellion, either by force or artifice, according as circumstances might require?" asked Hadria. Professor Fortescue looked round at her, half anxiously, half enquiringly. "There are perils, remember," he warned. "The woman is, by our assumption, the brigand's captive. If she offends her brigand, he has hideous punishments to inflict.
The morning came: it was a pleasant sight to behold Mr. Tupman in full brigand's costume, with a very tight jacket, sitting like a pincushion over his back and shoulders, the upper portion of his legs incased in the velvet shorts, and the lower part thereof swathed in the complicated bandages to which all brigands are peculiarly attached.
She had feared they were members of the association of thieves, and as such, was expecting to see hard features with a brigand's expression upon them; but, much to her surprise and pleasure, the men before her bore none of the marks she had pictured to herself, but were genteelly dressed and quite fine-looking fellows.
The trousers were very loose, and were provided with two long deep pockets, convenient receptacles, which easily contained the leathern bags of gold and jewels I had taken from the brigand's coffin. When my hasty toilet was completed I took another glance at the mirror, this time with a half smile. True, I was greatly altered; but after all I did not look so bad.
There shall also be a pork-pie in it, and a brigand's hat. The composition will be splendid. I took out my pocket-book and said, 'I'll make a mem. of it now. So I did, and added, 'Mem.: Never to have a mother-in-law, unless her daughter is as pretty as Fanny Crayshaw." The little boys were now allowed to have tools and go on with their carving, still seated on the ground.
It is now a good time to stop. Of one American we will gain a quarter of a million lira a fortune and of the other one hundred and fifty thousand lira. With what we already have it is enough and more. Quietly we will disband our men and go away. In another land we live the respectable life, in peace with all, and Tato shall be the fine lady, and forget she once was a brigand's daughter."
