It is only a term of reproach, exactly corresponding to the "lazzarone" of Naples, who resembles the Mexican lepers in his social condition, and whose name implies the same thing; for, of course, Saint Lazarus is the patron saint of lepers and foul beggars. There are some few real lepers in Mexico, who are obliged by law to be shut up in this hospital.
Follow me, and observe what I do. "The officer followed the lazzarone, who gave the handkerchief to the sbirro, and walked away. The latter had hardly put his prize in his pocket when the officer came up and seized him by the collar. The sbirro fell on his knees, but the officer was inexorable, and he was sent to prison.
Pain, I am sure, you cannot fear; even I, weak and feeble girl that I am, can despise that what other honor can there be in the hour of death than to be thought worthy of the mercy and care of God? Caraccioli or lazzarone prince or beggar it will matter not two hours hence; and let me reverently beg of you to humble your thoughts to the level which becomes all sinners."
After a long account of St Januarius, including the well-known miracle of the liquefaction of his blood, and some amusing illustrations of his immense popularity with the Neapolitans, M. Dumas, in two pithy lines, gives us the length, breadth, and thickness of a lazzarone's religion. "I was one day in a church at Naples," he says, "and I heard a lazzarone praying aloud.
"He's a good enough looker, ain't he?" commented Dixon, as he dipped under the door bar, went into the stall, and turned the horse about. "He's the picture of his old sire, Lazzarone," he continued, looking the horse over critically; "an' a damned sight bigger rogue, though the old one was bad enough.
"A sbirro had caught a lazzarone in the fact. "'What did you steal from that gentleman in black, who just went by? he demanded he. "'Nothing, your excellency, replied the lazzarone. A lazzarone always addresses a sbirro as eccellenza. "'I saw your hand in his pocket. "'His pocket was empty. "'What! Not a purse, a snuff-box, a handkerchief? "'Nothing, please your excellency. It was an author.
"'I will take the invalid, said the Englishman after a little reflection. "'Very good, replied the lazzarone, 'we will take him. "'But I shall say just what I please before him. "'In that case I wish you a good morning. "'No, no; you must remain. "'Allow me to give you a piece of advice then. If you want to say what you please before the invalid, take a deaf one.
"'Ooh! cried the Englishman, still more enchanted with this second hint than with the first. 'By all means, a blind invalid. Here are two piasters for the idea. "They left Sallust's house, the deaf man was paid and discharged, and the lazzarone went to the guard-room, and brought back an invalid who was stone-blind and led by a black poodle.
Presently the young officer came out of a house opposite, and before he had gone ten paces, put his hand in his pocket, and found he was minus a handkerchief. "'Pardon me, excellency, said the lazzarone, stepping up to him; 'you have lost something, I think? "'I have lost a cambric handkerchief. "'Your excellency has not lost it; it has been stolen from him. "'And who stole it?
You see more beautiful girls in an hour on Broadway than in the whole tour of Europe. Miss Light, now, on Broadway, would excite no particular remark." "She has never been there!" cried Roderick, triumphantly. "I 'm afraid she never will be there. I suppose you have heard the news about her." "What news?"
