"Attila" was his next great triumph; and then followed in rapid succession a large number of operas, among them: "I Masnadieri" , written for the English stage, with Jenny Lind, Lablache, and Gardoni in the cast; "Luisa Miller" ; "Stifellio" ; "Rigoletto" ; "Il Trovatore," Rome ; "La Traviata," Venice ; "I Vespri Siciliani," Paris ; "Simon Boccanegra," Venice ; "Un Ballo in Maschera," Rome ; "La Forza del Destino," St.
This will keep these young men quiet; they will think that all rumours they may have heard culminate in this rising of yours, and they will be content, and satisfied that they have done their duty. Then, the day after, while they are idling at Forza, we will slip through the passes, and after that there will be no need for ruses." The chief rose and pulled himself up to his full height.
But I declined to rake up the family scandal and we passed on to Carmida's husband, Cladinoro, Re di Bizerta, a spurious son of the old Ruggiero da Risa, and so valorous that they speak of La Forza di Cladinoro. All these knights and ladies were hanging on one side of the stage in two rows, one row against the wall and the other in front. I asked Pasquale how he knew which was which.
"I was at Forza to-day, and I watched your people running. Had they waited a little longer we should have slain them all, and then have come for you." The chief smiled unpleasantly. "My people did not fight at Forza to-day. That was but the sport to draw on fools. Soon we shall fight in earnest, but in a different place, and thou shalt not see."
On this night Khautmi was to take the west side of the Nazri gully and Forza the east, and the two quickest runners in the place were sent off to Andover with the news. He was to come towards them, leaving men at the different signal-posts in case of scattered assaults, and if he came in time the two forces would join in holding the Nazri pass.
"Hullo, Haystoun. I heard you were here. Awfully glad to see you. Sit down, won't you, and have some breakfast." The officer was a long man, with a thin, long face, a reddish moustache, and small, blue eyes. "I came to ask you questions, if you don't mind. I have the regular globe-trotter's trick of wanting information. What's the Forza camp like?
"But I have been hearing stories of Bada-Mawidi risings which are to come off soon." "Oh, you'll always hear stories of that sort. All the old women in the neighbourhood purvey them." "Who are in charge at Forza?" "Holm and Andover. Don't care much for Holm, but Andy is a good chap. But what's this new interest of yours? Are you going up there?
The cause of our sojourn there was an instance of forza maggiore, as the agent of the diligence company defiantly expressed it, in refusing us damages for our overturn into the river.
We call the places Khautmi-sa and Khautmi-bana, but the English have their own names for them." Marker nodded. "I know the places. They are Gurkha camps. The officers are called Mitchinson and St. John. They will give us little trouble. But the Forza garrison is too near the pass for safety, and yet far enough away for my plans."
This was the secret of the burlesque at Forza, and the new valour of the Badas. He saw Marker's game with the fatal clearness of one who is too late. He had been given a chance of a little piece of service to avert his suspicions. Marker had fathomed him well as one who must satisfy a restless conscience but had no stomach for anything beyond.
