"Otello" followed the "Barber" at Naples in 1816, and "Cenerentola" in 1817, and both were extraordinarily successful. The "Gazza Ladra" was produced at Milan in 1817, and was followed by "Armida" at Naples in the same year. His next great work was the oratorio, "Moses in Egypt," which is also given as opera.
"Oh, la la!" said Gazza. "If it is hot in the cabin!" And he flirted his handkerchief back and forth. "I think I had the best of it," I remarked. "All the melody and none of the temperature." Hortense saw no need of noticing me further "The singer has the worst of it," said Gazza. "But since you all sang!" I laughed. "Miss Rieppe, she is cool," continued Gazza. "And she danced. It is not fair."
It must be said of Gazza that he, too, made a certain presence of interest in the traditions of Kings Port. "After the revocation of the Edict of Nantes," replied Mrs. Weguelin. "Built it in Savannah," Charley was saying to Bohm, "or Norfolk. This is a good place to bury people in, but not money. Now the phosphate proposition "
I had never been a welcome person to Hortense, and she made as little effort to conceal this as usual. Her indifferent eyes glanced at me with drowsy insolence, and she made her beautiful, low voice as remote and inattentive as her skilful social equipment could render it. "It is so hot in the cabin." This was all she had for me. Then she looked at Gazza with returning animation.
"Get a boat, quick," said John to me; and with his coat flung off he was in the river, whose current Hortense could scarce have reckoned with; for they were both already astern as I ran out on the port boat boom. Gazza was dancing and shrieking, "Man overboard!" which, indeed, was the correct expression, only it did not apply to himself. Gazza was a very sensible person.
There sat this altogether innocent pair, deeply suffused with the crimson of apparent guilt, and there stood Kitty's next husband, eyeing them suspiciously. My little gratuitous mischief was a perfect success, and remains with me as one of the bright spots in this day of pleasure. Vivacious measures from the piano brought Kitty to her feet. "There's Gazza!" she cried. "We'll make him sing!"
John contributed nothing. He was by no means playing up now. He was looking away at the shore. Gazza hummed a little fragment. "But after lunch I will sing you good music." "So long as it keeps us cool," I suggested. "Ah, no! It will not be cool music!" cried Gazza "for those who understand." "Are those boys bathing?" Hortense now inquired.
