I could not approve of so much impartiality, but afterward it seemed to me I had little to be proud of in the shorter and easier method of our own police, as contrasted with the caution of that Roman carabiniere who left the combatants to the mild might of their friends' moral suasion.
'E un prete spretato, Signorina. The word was unfamiliar to her. She frowned over it. 'Scomunicato! said the carabiniere, with a laugh. 'Excommunicated? She felt a thrill of pity, mingled with a vague horror. 'Why? what has he done? The carabiniere laughed again.
The wicked youth had vanished in unknown space; but the carabiniere, attended by a group of admirers, marched boldly up the middle of the street, and the crowd, with whatever reluctance, persuaded itself to disperse, though the cabmen, to the number of ten or twenty, continued to drive around in concentric circles and irregular ellipses.
She wraps herself in her furs and sits quietly in the carriage while I drag the heavy trunks hither, one after another. I break down for a moment under the last one; a good-natured carabiniere with an intelligent face comes to my assistance. She laughs. "It must be heavy," said she, "all my furs are in it." I get up on the driver's seat, wiping drops of perspiration from my brow.
Lucy stayed her foot, and was about to retreat swiftly when she heard a cheerful 'Buona sera, Signorina! She recognised a voice of the afternoon. It was the handsome carabiniere. Lucy advanced with alacrity. 'I came out because it was so fine, she said. 'Are you on duty still? Where is your companion? He smiled, and pointed to the wood. 'We have a hut there. First Ruggieri sleeps then I sleep.
What harm had the poor things done that they should be turned out? You heard what that carabiniere said? that they farmed half the plateau. And now look at that! I feel as I do when I see a blackbird's nest on the ground, that some beastly boy has been robbing and destroying. I want to get at the boy. 'The boy would plead perhaps that the blackbirds were too many and the fruit too scant.
Later, still interested by the action of the carabiniere in guarding the public security in his own person, I asked an Italian gentleman, who owned to have seen the affair, why the officer did not break through the crowd and arrest the fighters.
