"At least" her voice broke, and she had to begin again, making a painful effort to control the words that she might be quite intelligible "at least help me to carry her in from the street. Is there no Christian here?" Two carabinieri came running up now, and they made the people stand back so that a space of pavement was left clear; the younger man spoke to Olive.
"Oh yes! the carabinieri will come, and you will go to galera do you understand that?" He had picked up the words somewhere. The man began to moan and pray. "Stop that noise!" cried Brook, with slow emphasis. He was not far wrong in saying that the carabineers would come.
She had been accustomed to wander about the lake of Albano by herself, and to make friends with the peasants. But after all the roads would not be so closely patrolled by carabinieri if all was quite as safe as in Vermont or Middlesex; and there were plenty of disquieting stories current among the English visitors, even among the people themselves.
Garibaldi himself, who had embarked on board the royal frigate Eurydice to gain possession of that vessel by a mutiny of the crew, being off Genoa, and hearing of a plot to storm the barracks of the Carabinieri, landed in the town to join it; but the attack upon the barracks miscarried, and he, not daring to go back to his ship, saw himself irreparably compromised, fled to Nice, and thence crossed the Var and found himself an exile at Marseilles.
"But I have done nothing." "Not yet, but you will attempt to follow me." "Begin," he said, with a banter. "What's the row, Jack?" Merrihew called out impatiently. Why didn't they talk in a language a fellow could understand? "Stay where you are, Dan." To Bettina, Hillard repeated: "Begin." She dusted her hands of the corn and walked resolutely toward the carabinieri.
The mob broke as if something had exploded inside it. A few black-hatted men fought furiously to get themselves free of the hated soldiers; in the confusion bunches of men staggered, reeled, fell, and were struggling among the legs of their comrades and of the carabinieri. But the bulk of the crowd just burst and fled in every direction.
"Now, what the deuce has all this powwow been about?" demanded Merrihew; for he had understood nothing, despite his How to Speak Italian in One Day. "It's that rascal Giovanni." "Did he find his man and cut him up?" "No. It seems that these carabinieri have remark-able memories; the old affair. Poor devil! I can't imagine how they traced him here.
Siramo thought that, if Venice had to be abandoned, the Germans and Austrians would not damage it. I felt no such security. That night we stopped at Milan. Wild stories of "tradimento" were in the air. It was being said, for instance, that two Generals of the Second Army had been marched through their troops in handcuffs under a guard of Carabinieri.
A great roar of voices acclaimed the favourite's victory, and when the spent horse came to a standstill the fantino slipped off its back and was instantly surrounded by men and boys of his contrada, dancing and shouting with joy, kissing him on both cheeks, pulling him this way and that, until the carabinieri came up and took him away amongst them.
Carabinieri are not allowed to marry so long as they are in service, or rather they may marry but only on condition of depositing a sum of money which is fixed at an amount beyond anything they are likely to be able to lay their hands on. Having exhausted our questions and answers we returned to the guard-room and the corporal welcomed us by filling our glasses again.
