When the news of the public preaching reached Spain, there were almost daily consultations at the grove of Segovia. The eminent personages who composed the royal council were the Duke of Alva, the Count de Feria, Don Antonio de Toledo, Don Juan Manrique de Lara, Ruy Gomez, Quixada, Councillor Tisnacq, recently appointed President of the State Council, and Councillor Hopper.
Of course she had known that he would come. She did not rise, or even give him her hand, but there was a spot close beside her on which it was to be presumed that he would seat himself. She had a volume of Byron in her hand, the Corsair, Lara, and the Giaour, a kind of poetry which was in truth more intelligible to her than Queen Mab. "You go to-morrow?" "Yes; I go to-morrow."
The Count Narbonne de Lara was the most brilliant figure in the noblesse of France, and he lived to captivate and dazzle Napoleon. Talleyrand, who thought the situation under the Constitution desperate, put forward his friend; and Madame de Staël, the queen of constitutional society, obtained for him the ministry of war.
"Lira, lira, la, la, la! lira, lara, la, la, la! augh! whaugh! bother!" "So my good-nature does not please you, Bunting." "Oh, Sir, it does not sinnify: we shall have our throats cut that's all. "What! you don't believe the story." "I? Bless your honour, I am no fool." "Bunting!" "Sir." "You forget yourself." "Augh!" "So you don't think I should have lent the horse?" "Sartainly not."

It is generally understood that the production of these works at Covent Garden was due to causes other than their musical value, but in any case they do not call for detailed criticism.
His council consisted of five or six Spanish grandees, the famous Ruy Gomez, then Count of Melito, afterwards Prince of Eboli; the Duke of Alva, the Count de Feria, the Duke of Franca Villa, Don Antonio Toledo, and Don Juan Manrique de Lara.
I know this: there are a thousand volumes of manuscript poetry going the round of the publishers at this moment, things that nobody can make head nor tail of, stories in verse that begin in the middle, like The Corsair and Lara.
On one of these he attacks Seyd Pasha, and is overborne by superior force; but Gulnare, a female slave of Seyd, kills her master, and runs off with Conrad, who finds Medora dead and vanishes. In Lara, the sequel to this written in May and June, published in August a man of mystery appears in the Morea, with a page, Kaled. After adventures worthy of Mrs.
He is peculiarly flattered, too, on the score of devotion and affection; he exacts in love, as from the world, too much. He is a Lara, whose females must be Medoras; and even his male friends should be extremely like Kaleds! Poor man! you see how easily he can be duped. Mem. Among persons of this character are usually found those oddities, humours, and peculiarities which are each a handle.
He would go upon the war-path, and as for Alf well, he was sorry for him in a general way, but all mercy was dead within his breast specifically. He remembered something in the reader: "'Die! spawn of our kindred! Die! traitor to Lara! As he spake, there was blood on the spear of Mudara!"
